SucraloseSweetener
Dose context matters. As a trace excipient in a tablet coating or capsule, the amount is minimal and not a meaningful concern. The evidence below applies to the gram-level intakes typical of sweetened protein powders, pre-workouts, and drink mixes: a 2022 human trial (Suez et al., Cell) showed sucralose disrupts gut bacteria and worsens blood sugar control in healthy adults, and a 2023 study (Schiffman et al.) found that sucralose-6-acetate — a compound formed when sucralose is digested — was genotoxic to human cells in vitro. It remains an artificial sweetener with no nutritional purpose.
MaltodextrinBinder
Spikes blood sugar faster than table sugar (glycemic index 85–105). Research links it to gut bacteria changes that may promote intestinal inflammation (Nickerson et al. 2015). Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.
MannitolSweetener
A FODMAP sugar alcohol that can cause GI distress (bloating, gas, diarrhea) at higher doses. Supplement amounts are typically small, but individuals with IBS or sugar alcohol sensitivity may react even at low doses.
SucroseSweetener
Added sugars and high glycemic load; dental caries risk
Magnesium StearateLubricant
A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production
Natural Cherry FlavorFlavor
A flavoring derived from natural cherry sources
Silicon DioxideAnti-caking
Fine silica powder used to prevent clumping
Microcrystalline CelluloseBinder
Plant-derived cellulose used as a binder and filler in supplements
How to Take It
Best taken in the morning
Many people prefer it earlier in the day; there's no evidence timing changes anything. Absorption is fine with or without food.
