Ingredients & minerals

Soy protein isolate

Potential estrogenic effects due to isoflavones, hexane solvent residues from extraction, allergenicity, ultra-processing

Canola Oil

PUFA-dominant oil, potential oxidation instability under high heat, minor sensitization on skin contact possible

Corn oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content leading to oxidative instability and potential contribution to excessive omega-6 intake, hexane extraction residues possible

Soy Lecithin

Potential for allergenicity, processing by hexane extraction, mild endocrine activity concerns

Artificial flavors

Possible allergenicity, potential exposure to synthetic chemicals, ultra-processed ingredient

Sucralose

Potential gut microbiome alteration, possible adverse metabolic effects at high intake, possible mild gastrointestinal effects

Corn Maltodextrin

High glycemic index, excessive intake associated with weight gain and blood sugar spikes, potential for insulin resistance

Ferrous sulfate

Gastrointestinal irritation, risk of overdose toxicity, can cause nausea and constipation

Copper Sulfate

Potential toxicity at high doses, gastrointestinal irritation, liver and kidney damage with chronic exposure, not recommended for direct human supplementation without medical oversight

Folic acid

Possible masking of vitamin B12 deficiency at high doses, potential nerve damage with excessive intake

Sodium selenate

Potential skin irritation and sensitization at higher concentrations, narrow safety margin for selenium exposure, possible selenium toxicity with excessive exposure

Natural flavors

Lack of transparency, may contain solvents, ultra-processed, no nutritional value

Carrageenan

Potential gastrointestinal irritation, possible inflammatory effects in some animal studies
