We chose Xylitol as the sweetener for our Sugar Free CBD Gummies because unlike artificial sweeteners, studies show Xylitol has health supporting properties. It fights bad breath, acts as a probiotic for your gut bacteria, and doesn't cause spikes in your blood sugar on insulin. Pet parents, take note: xylitol isn't good for dogs or ferrets, so make sure to keep these gummies out of paw's reach.
