Side effects of monk fruit

Generally speaking, the side effects of monk fruit are very small, but only a very small number of people cannot drink monk fruit water. For example, we do not recommend monk fruit water for people with cold constitutions. If pharyngitis is really uncomfortable, you can try drinking a small amount of monk fruit water as long as it does not cause an overreaction in the body, so that the pharyngitis can slowly recover.

The most common side effect of monk fruit is that it is too sweet and hurts the spleen and stomach. Monk fruit that is dried in the sun can be used as a tea substitute, but it cannot be used as a tea substitute for a long time. If it is dried, drinking too much will cause internal heat. It is best to drink less or drink with other heat-clearing and cooling materials for wind-heat cough. People with nocturnal emissions and nocturia should avoid it. It is fine to drink it in the short term, but long-term drinking will lead to a decline in gastrointestinal function and cause a chain of pathological reactions. However, for people with extremely sensitive and cold constitutions, we strongly disagree with you drinking monk fruit water. It is recommended that you first find a Chinese medicine doctor or nutritionist to adjust your constitution through diet.
