Saccharin Tablets: Uses, Benefits & Information

Saccharin tablets are small, white tablets that contain the artificial sweetener saccharin. Saccharin is a synthetic compound that is about 300-400 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). It is often used as a sugar substitute in foods and beverages because it has no calories and does not cause tooth decay. Saccharin tablets are a convenient way to add sweetness to foods and drinks without adding extra calories or sugar. They can be crushed and added to hot or cold beverages, or they can be dissolved in water to create a sweet syrup. Saccharin tablets are also available in a variety of flavors, such as cherry, lemon, and lime.
