Other Ingredients (10)
Caramel ColorColor
Class III and IV caramel colors contain 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI), classified by IARC as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) in 2011 (Monograph Vol. 101). California Prop 65 lists 4-MEI as a known carcinogen; products delivering >29 mcg/day require a cancer warning label. NTP TR-535 (2007) found 4-MEI caused lung tumors in mice. Major cola brands (Coca-Cola, Pepsi) voluntarily reformulated 2012-2014 to reduce 4-MEI below California thresholds. Because labels never specify Class I (sugar + heat only, safer) vs Class III/IV (ammonia-process, contains 4-MEI), consumers cannot verify which they're consuming. Combined with the additive's purely cosmetic purpose, the risk:benefit ratio is unfavorable for any supplement.
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.
Natural FlavorsFlavor
Broad regulatory category of flavor constituents derived from natural sources. Composition is proprietary and not disclosed — 'Natural Flavors' can include several hundred different compounds depending on the target flavor profile, including hexane-extracted constituents and proprietary carrier solvents. 'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.
Soy LecithinEmulsifier
Widely used emulsifier derived from soybeans
Gum AcaciaBinder
Natural plant gum (acacia) used as a binder, stabilizer, and emulsifier in foods and supplements
StarchBinder
Carbohydrate polymer used as a binder, filler, and disintegrant in tablets and capsules
Whey ProteinProtein Source
Common dairy-derived protein that sometimes appears in the other ingredients list due to label parsing
StarchBinder
Carbohydrate polymer used as a binder, filler, and disintegrant in tablets and capsules
How to Take It
Take it anytime
Total daily protein is what matters — the post-workout "anabolic window" has not held up in controlled trials.
