Ingredients & minerals

Soy protein isolate

Hexane extraction residues, potential endocrine disruption due to isoflavones, allergenicity, ultra-processed

Canola Oil

PUFA-dominant oil, oxidation instability, potential mild irritant in topical use

Acesulfame Potassium

Potential gastrointestinal discomfort at high doses, possible concerns over chronic toxicity though regulatory bodies consider it safe at typical use levels

Sucralose

Possible gut microbiota alterations, potential digestive discomfort at high doses, heat instability leading to breakdown products

Natural and Artificial Flavors

Lack of transparency, potential presence of solvents and allergens, ultra-processed ingredient, no nutritional value

Ferrous sulfate

Gastrointestinal irritation, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, risk of iron overdose especially in children

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

Potential masking of vitamin B12 deficiency at high doses, excess intake linked to unmetabolized folic acid in circulation

Sodium selenate

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

Cellulose gum

None at typical consumption levels, possible mild gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive individuals
