D-Tagatose (Viablife Tagatose)

D-Tagatose is a naturally occurring rare functional sugar with a clean, sucrose-like taste and no unpleasant aftertaste. Possessing 92% of the sweetness of regular sugar but with merely one-third of the calories, it serves as an ideal low-calorie sugar substitute for healthy formulation development. With an extremely low glycemic index, it avoids rapid blood sugar spikes, making it suitable for low-sugar, sugar-free, and health-focused products. Beyond its gentle sweetening effect, D-Tagatose acts as a natural prebiotic that nourishes beneficial intestinal flora and improves gastrointestinal wellness. It also features anti-caries properties and excellent Maillard reaction activity, delivering richer color and layered flavor in baked products. In skincare applications, it provides mild moisturizing and skin-soothing benefits, supporting gentle and healthy skin conditioning.
