Ingredients & minerals

Non-GMO Soy Lecithin

Potential for hexane solvent residues from processing, possible estrogenic activity, allergenic potential in soy-sensitive individuals

Organic high oleic sunflower oil

Oxidation instability if improperly stored, high omega-9 fatty acid with low omega-6 relative to regular sunflower oil, minimal contamination risk

Acesulfame Potassium

Potential carcinogenicity debated, possible alteration of gut microbiota, limited long-term safety data

Sucralose

Potential gut microbiome alterations, possible mild gastrointestinal discomfort, synthetic origin

Natural and Artificial Flavors

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

Modified Food Starch

Potential allergenicity depending on source (corn, wheat, tapioca), possible contamination with residual chemicals from modification process, minor digestive sensitivity in some individuals

Unrefined Salt

Essential electrolyte, supports nerve transmission, aids fluid balance, contains trace minerals

Dipotassium Phosphate

Provides potassium and phosphate electrolytes, stabilizes pH in formulations

Tricalcium phosphate

Prevents caking in powdered products, maintains free-flowing texture, provides a source of calcium

Cocoa powder (processed with alkali)

Provides flavoring and color, contains some antioxidants though reduced by alkali processing

Whey Protein Concentrate

High-quality protein source, supports muscle synthesis and repair

Resistant Maltodextrin (Fibersol-2)

Supports digestive health, promotes laxation, reduces glycemic response when consumed with carbohydrates

Mixed-Tocopherols

Antioxidant preservative, protects fats and oils from oxidation, extends shelf life

Lactase

Improves lactose digestion in lactose-intolerant individuals, reduces gastrointestinal symptoms associated with lactose intolerance
