They are sugarfree candies WITHOUT Artificial Sweeteners, Artificial Flavourants, Artificial Colourants, nor Preservatives.

FLAVOURED & COLOURED NATURALLY

Our candies are flavoured with either herbs or fruit essences and our colour is derived from fruit, plant or vegetables.

FEWER CAVITIES

Dental cavities develop when bacteria adhere to the surface of the teeth in the form of plaque. These convert fermentable carbohydrates into acids, which then attack the tooth enamel. Caring Candies do not cause the release of significant amounts of acid, and the PH remains above the critical level of 5.7.

FAT FREE

Our hard boiled candies are 100% Fat-Free.

LOW GLYCEMIC RESPONSE

Because Caring Candies are low glycaemic index, they release glucose slowly and steadily into the bloodstream, which is beneficial not only for diabetics but also for slimmers, individuals with ADHD, hypoglycemics, sportsmen and health conscious consumers.

GUT HEALTH

In addition, Isomalt is a prebiotic in humans as it stimulates the growth of bifidobacteria causing a positive shift in the composition of the intestinal microflora.

WORKS LIKE DIETARY FIBER

Just like the dietary fiber in beans, onions and various fruits, Isomalt belongs to a group known as “low digestible carbohydrates” . These carbohydrates stimulate bowel activity and help counteract constipation. In some people, excessive consumption may produce a laxative effect.

Important Words of Advice

Our candies have a similar chemical composition to prunes. Soooo... we recommend you try limit yourself to around 25g of our candy (4-5 bonbons or 2 lollipops) per day to avoid a possible laxative effect

Scientific evidence shows that, like high-fibre foods including plums and prunes, the consumption of Isomalt in moderate amounts is tolerated very well.

What makes Caring Candies so unique (and why we were awarded "Best Product 2004" in Italy) is because we DO NOT ADD artificial sweeteners to any of our products. Instead we use a natural sugar substite called Isomalt, which is derived from beets.

BENEFITS OF USING ISOMALT

FEWER CAVITIES
Dental cavities develop when bacteria adhere to the surface of the teeth in the form of plaque. These convert fermentable carbohydrates into acids, which then attack the tooth enamel.

FEWER CALORIES
Isomalt is not readily metabolised in the small intestine and is mainly fermented in the colon, this explains the caloric value of 2 kcal / g. This value is accepted for food labelling, e.g. in Canada and the United States. However in the European Union, and South Africa one common value of 2.4 kcal/g must be applied for all polyols. Isomalt's lower caloric content is also a boon for overweight diabetics striving to slim down.

LOW GLYCEMIC RESPONSE
It has been demonstrated in numerous studies, that blood glucose and insulin levels rise only minimally after consumption of Isomalt, compared with sugar and glucose. A glycemic index of 2 (+1) was determined for Isomalt confirming the very low to negligible effect on blood glucose levels which is beneficial not only for diabetics but also for health conscious consumers.

GUT HEALTH
In addition, Isomalt is a prebiotic in humans as it stimulates the growth of bifidobacteria causing a positive shift in the composition of the intestinal microflora.

Just like the dietary fiber in beans, onions and various fruits, Isomalt belongs to a group known as “low digestible carbohydrates”. These carbohydrates stimulate bowel activity and help counteract constipation. In some people, excessive consumption may produce a laxative effect.

Important Words of Advice
Our candies have a similar chemical composition to prunes. Soooo... we recommend you try limit yourself to around 25g of our candy (4-5 bonbons or 2 lollipops) per day to avoid a possible laxative effect

Scientific evidence shows that, like high-fibre foods including plums and prunes, the consumption of Isomalt in moderate amounts is tolerated very well.

Our fantastic range of "NATURALS", which is flavoured with herbs, has incredibly delicious yet unique flavours. Herbs have been used for centuries for their medicinal properties.

DISCLAIMER : CARING CANDIES DO NOT CLAIM TO CURE ANY OF THE AILMENTS LISTED BELOW, HOWEVER, MAY BE USEFUL IN RELIEVING SOME OF THE ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS. CARING CANDIES ARE NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE PRESCRIBED TREATMENT AND ARE CONTRA INDICATED IN PERSONS SENSITIVE TO ANY OF THE INGREDIENTS

RASPBERRY
Most people are familiar with the raspberry as a food. Ingestion of the berries was believed to be a good "tonic" for the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract. Raspberry leaves have a long tradition of use in pregnancy to strengthen and tone the tissue of the womb. Also used for easing mouth problems such as mouth ulcers, bleeding gums and inflammations. Raspberry has also been known to assist the body with the detox process

GINGER
Ginger is used for nausea and vomiting (i.e. morning sickness, motion sickness), constipation, flatulence, colds and flu. Ginger is a classic tonic for the digestive tract. Classified as an aromatic bitter, it also stimulates digestion

LAVENDER MINTS
Lavender is an effective herb for headaches, especially when they are related to tension and stress. It is also used to LOWER high blood pressure and for it's calming, soothing properties. Peppermint is an excellent antispasmodic, having a relaxing effect on the muscles of the digestive system, and stimulating digestion. It is also used to relieve nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and travel sickness.

LIQUORICE
We developed our Liquorice candies when I was pregnant with our second child. I was fainting from low blood pressure and our Homeopath told me to eat lots of liquorice. As "regular" liquorice is made with wheat flour and I am sensitive to it, I couldn't so we used pure liquorice root in our candies and voila...no more fainting spells. Liquorice also helps cleanse the colon, support lung health, and promotes adrenal gland function. Liquorice is a common ingredient in throat-soothing herbal supplements. The most common medicinal use for Liquorice Root is for treating upper respiratory ailments including coughs, hoarseness, sore throat, and bronchitis.

LEMON
Traditionally Lemon was used for nausea and digestion, however most of our customers select this flavour simply because it is absolutely delicious and extremely refreshing.

PURE MINTS
Peppermint is an excellent antispasmodic, having a relaxing effect on the muscles of the digestive system, and stimulating digestion. It is also used to relieve nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and travel sickness.

The Glycaemic Index (GI) Factor was developed, whereby foods are ranked on a scale of 0-100, according to their actual effect on blood-glucose levels. Glucose is taken as 100, since it causes the greatest and most rapid rise in blood-glucose levels, and all other foods are rated in comparison to Glucose.

Using the Glycaemic Index (GI) concept, Diabetics, low blood-sugar (Hypoglycaemic) sufferers, children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Sportsmen, can all optimise their blood-glucose control.

For those wanting to LOSE WEIGHT, the increased satiety - and the fact that less INSULIN (A FAT STORER) is secreted by a low-GI diet - results in better fat loss.

Foods with a LOW GI release glucose SLOWLY AND STEADILY into the bloodstream and do not over-stimulate insulin secretion.

Our candies have been given a Glycemic Rating of 9 (very, very low), however, South African Labeling regulations prevents us from disclosing this value on our packaging.
