OnoSweet® is a patented, natural, zero-calorie sweetener made from a fermented rice source. It delivers clean, sugar-like sweetness without bitterness or lingering aftertaste for beverages, powders, RTDs, gummies, chews and functional nutrition products.
Taste Is the Real Gatekeeper in Performance Nutrition
In sports nutrition and functional wellness products, taste drives repeat purchase. Even the strongest formula can struggle if bitterness, lingering aftertaste or sweetness imbalance gets in the way of the consumer experience.
As brands look for better sugar-reduction tools, OnoSweet® gives formulators a clean-label sweetening option that delivers high-intensity sweetness without relying on artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohol-heavy systems.
Why Traditional Sweeteners Create Formulation Challenges
Many legacy sweetener systems come with tradeoffs. Some plant-based sweeteners need masking because they introduce off-notes. Monk fruit can offer a cleaner profile, but supply and pricing may be influenced by crop variability. Artificial sweeteners such as sucralose, erythritol, allulose or acesulfame potassium face growing scrutiny from label-conscious consumers.
OnoSweet® helps solve these challenges by delivering clean, consistent sweetness with a sugar-like taste profile and no bitter or lingering finish.
Why Fermented Rice Sweetness Matters
OnoSweet® is produced from a fermented rice source to deliver a consistent, scalable sweetening solution that performs reliably from batch to batch. Its patented fermentation process supports clean sweetness, supply predictability and formulation consistency at scale.
The result is a high-intensity sweetener that more closely mimics the sweetness curve of sugar, without calories and without glycemic impact.
Built for Modern Formulation Systems
OnoSweet® helps formulators create balanced sweetness with fewer workarounds across protein powders, hydration products, RTDs, gummies, chews, functional foods and other nutrition applications. Its sweetness builds predictably without peaking, helping finished products taste smooth, balanced and consumer-friendly.
The Strategic Sweetening Shift
OnoSweet® was built for brands that want cleaner taste, stronger consistency and a more modern approach to sugar reduction. For brands developing zero-calorie, low-sugar or clean-label products, OnoSweet® offers a natural sweetening solution that supports better taste without the bitterness, lingering aftertaste or digestive concerns that can come with other sweetener systems.
