Medicine Description canderel 18mg
Canderel 18mg Tablets is a medication that contains aspartame, a low-calorie artificial sweetener that is significantly sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). Upon ingestion, aspartame is metabolized into its constituent amino acids and methanol, which are naturally occurring substances in foods. This breakdown occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing the body to absorb these components without deriving calories from sugar. Aspartame activates the sweet taste receptors on the tongue, mimicking the taste of sugar, thereby providing sweetness without the caloric load associated with traditional sweeteners. This mechanism makes it a popular choice for those managing caloric intake and individuals with diabetes who need to control blood glucose levels.
