  • Is there any side effect of taking BRAND'S® Bird's Nest Soup No Added Sugar?

  • What is Bird’s Nest?

    Bird's nest is the nest made from the saliva of swiftlets which dwell in caves along cliffs or commercially man-made structures. For hundreds of years, bird's nest has been widely consumed in the Far East as a delicacy. BRAND'S® Bird's Nest Soup is a unique, high quality product manufactured by advanced technology under highly controlled processing conditions.

  • What is the gelatine-like substance found in BRAND’S® Bird's Nest Soup?

    The substance is bird's nest itself.

  • What sweeteners are used in the No Added Sugar product?

    We use a combination of sugar alcohols, namely sorbitol and xylitol. They contain fewer calories than table sugar. Since our bodies absorb these sugar alcohols more slowly and often incompletely, they do not cause a sharp rise in our blood glucose levels.

  • Who should take the BRAND'S® Bird's Nest Soup, No Added Sugar? Is it suitable for diabetics?

    It is suitable for health conscious consumers who value the health benefits of bird's nest but have concerns over sugar intake.

  • Why do the sweeteners in BRAND'S® Bird's Nest Soup, No Added Sugar have little effect on the blood glucose levels?

    As our bodies absorb these sugar alcohols more slowly and often incompletely, they do not cause a sharp rise in our blood glucose levels as compared to normal sugar.

  • Why is the price of BRAND'S® Bird's Nest Soup so high?

    The high price of our BRAND'S® Bird's Nest Drink is the result of our use of genuine bird's nest from Southeast Asia. The price also covers our high standards set for manufacturing to ensure a consistent taste and quality, and the maximum preservation of active ingredients in bird's nest, which makes our product better than home-cooked nest soup.

  • Why is the taste of BRAND’S® Bird's Nest Soup sweet?

    We carry two products in our Bird's Nest range, one is with rock sugar and the other is No Added Sugar. The sweetness of the product comes from the rock sugar and the natural sweeteners used in these products.
