Let's give the floor to Marie-Anne CLEMENT-TALLEUX, a food engineer, nutrition consultant, dietician, and expert in the world of food and drinks . Thanks to her past experience at WeightWatchers and her early days in the beverage sector of mass distribution, she knows labels like the back of her hand... and especially what we should (or shouldn't) put in our glasses!
Marie-Anne explains with kindness and a smile, but above all with simple words, the benefits of licorice as a natural sweetener, and how Antésite allows optimal hydration without compromising taste and pleasure.
Its message is clear : " Choosing Antésite means taking a concrete step towards more natural hydration, without compromising on taste or daily pleasure. A simple, beneficial, and sustainable habit. "

Antésite, a progressive support towards less ultra-processed

Adopting a healthier diet doesn't mean giving up pleasure. With Antésite, the transition to more natural hydration is smooth and frustration-free. Just a few drops of this plant-based concentrate are enough to transform a simple glass of water into a refreshing, flavorful drink.

With no added sugars, sweeteners, or additives, Antésite offers an ideal alternative for those who want to reduce their consumption of sugary and ultra-processed drinks while maintaining the pleasure of taste. "It's a solution I often offer to my patients who have trouble giving up sodas," emphasizes Marie-Anne CLEMENT-TALLEUX , a food engineer and dietician-nutritionist in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.

The real advantage is that the base of the drink remains water: optimal hydration, much healthier than a soda, which is often high in sugar, calories, and/or additives. Thanks to the power of plant extracts, Antésite offers authentic and natural flavors, close to the pleasure felt with a cocktail or iced tea, but with a much more refined composition. "It's really something minimalist: water, flavor (thanks to plant extracts), and that's it," she adds.

Taking the time to compare the labels, the difference is obvious: while traditional sodas pile up sugars, colorings, preservatives, and artificial flavors, Antésite focuses on simplicity. 0 sugar, 0 additives, 0 unnecessary calories, and yet just as much pleasure in every sip.

Choosing Antésite means taking a concrete step towards more natural hydration, without compromising on taste or daily pleasure. A simple, beneficial, and sustainable habit. And finally, as Marie-Anne CLEMENT-TALLEUX tells us: "The best way to realize it... is to try it!"

Licorice as a natural sweetener: a powerful taste, without glycemic impact

By Marie-Anne CLEMENT-TALLEUX, agricultural engineer and dietician-nutritionist in Paris.

We often know liquorice in the form of sweets or infusions, but we don’t know that it can also be used as a very effective natural sweetener ,” explains Marie-Anne CLEMENT-TALLEUX , agricultural engineer and dietician-nutritionist.

This sweetening power is due to glycyrrhizin, a molecule naturally present in licorice root. "It is this which gives this characteristic sweet taste, with a sweetening power approximately 50 times greater than that of white sugar (sucrose)." In other words, a very small amount is enough to flavor and sweeten a preparation.

Unlike sugar or honey, glycyrrhizin does not raise blood sugar levels. "It's a real asset for people who want or need to limit their sugar intake, especially those with diabetes, for example," says the dietitian.

However, she draws attention to one important point: "Licorice, like any active substance, should be used in moderation. But in the right doses, as in an Antésite drink, it can enrich the diet with a naturally sweet taste, without adding many calories."

Used in herbal tea or as a flavoring in certain preparations, licorice can therefore be a valuable ally for sweetening differently, in a natural and controlled way. It is also an original option for varying flavors in a balanced diet. Its intense flavor, both woody and sweet, allows you to create new combinations, particularly with spices like cinnamon or cardamom, or even with citrus fruits. Marie-Anne CLEMENT-TALLEUX adds : " Integrating a few drops of Antésite into compotes, sauces or marinades can offer a different sensory experience and renew the pleasure of eating healthy. "

Antésite: a simple and natural option to vary your daily drinks

Natural ingredients, no sugars, no additives, for maximum taste with minimal impact.

For over a century, Antésite has focused on simplicity and naturalness. This small bottle, created in Isère in 1898, transforms licorice—a root used since ancient times—into a powerful aromatic concentrate, free of sugar, sweeteners, and colorings. A few drops in a glass of water are enough to transform "bland" water into a fragrant, light, and pleasant drink.

For Marie-Anne Clément-Talleux, an agricultural engineer and dietician-nutritionist in Paris, Antésite can be a real boost to rediscovering the pleasure of hydrating yourself every day:

" Many of my patients want to reduce their consumption of sodas or other fruit juices and sugary drinks, but find water boring. For many, Antésite can then become an interesting alternative: simple, natural, and calorie-free. "

What she particularly appreciates is the product's ultra-short formula:

Just water, licorice, and natural flavors. Nothing more. No added sugars, no unnecessary additives. This perfectly matches what consumers looking for healthier sweetened drinks are looking for: transparency, simplicity, and above all, taste.

Beyond the nutritional aspect, Antésite also stands out for its limited ecological impact: a small bottle can prepare up to 40 liters of drink, reducing waste, plastic packaging and transport.

This helps limit waste. It’s a bit like the icing on the cake!

Without claiming to be a miracle product, Antésite can easily be integrated into a more conscious and responsible consumption approach. A simple, healthy, and smart option that helps you drink better... while maintaining the pleasure.
