Cross-referencing clinical data
A pairing appears on this page only when a trial gave both ingredients together and measured the result. Lo Han has none that clears that bar.
Stitching two separate single-ingredient studies into a pairing is the one thing this engine will not do. When a study of the combination itself holds up at source, it lands here with its citation.
No invented synergy. Where actives were studied on their own rather than together, the record shows each on its own evidence, never a combined effect no trial measured.
Research strength. Research strength says how much work stands behind the combination. It is never a product score.
Independent record. Every finding is cited to a named trial, dated, and never written by the brand.
20 pairings are live across the library today. Checked 20 July 2026.
No study gave these as a pair, so they are not in the card above. But the reason they belong together is settled biochemistry, not a guess, so it is worth knowing.
Mogrosides and steviol glycosides both act on the same sweet receptor but differ in onset and lingering aftertaste. Blending them lets a formulator cut the total amount of each and reduce the licorice-like tail that stevia alone leaves. This is a taste-engineering rationale, not a physiological one.
Mogroside V is intensely sweet at tiny weights, so it cannot fill the volume that sugar occupies in a recipe. Erythritol provides that bulk plus a cooling mouthfeel while contributing almost no metabolisable energy. Most products sold as monk fruit sweetener are largely erythritol by weight, which is the single most misread thing on those labels.
Inulin supplies bulk and a faint sweetness without the cooling effect erythritol brings, which suits baking better in some applications. Because it is a fermentable fibre, it also brings gas and bloating at higher intakes in sensitive people. The trade-off is texture and fibre content against gastrointestinal tolerance.
FOS adds bulk and mild sweetness while serving as a fermentation substrate for colonic bacteria. Combined with monk fruit extract it produces a sweetener with a fibre claim attached. As with inulin, the fermentation that gives it the fibre character is also what causes gas at higher doses.
Sweetness suppresses the perception of bitterness, which is why caffeinated beverages are sweetened at all. Monk fruit extract does that without adding sugar. The interaction is at the level of taste perception, and nothing here changes what caffeine does in the body.
Protein powders carry substantial bitterness and astringency that need masking, and monk fruit extract delivers that at negligible weight. It is chosen over sucralose in some formulas for label reasons rather than functional ones. This is a flavour system decision.
Nothing specific on file for Lo Han. Match the label to the daily amount above, and tell your doctor what you take.
