Ingredients & minerals

Corn Syrup Solids

High glycemic load, contributes to excessive sugar intake, linked to insulin resistance and metabolic disorders

Soy protein isolate

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

High Oleic Safflower Oil

Inflammation when consumed in excess due to residual omega-6 fatty acids, potential oxidative stress if improperly stored

Soy Oil

High omega-6 content, oxidative instability, hexane solvent extraction, potential endocrine activity due to isoflavone residues

M. Alpina Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content, potential pro-inflammatory effects with excessive intake

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

Excessive intake may mask vitamin B12 deficiency, potential unmetabolized folic acid concerns at high doses
