Worst GI tolerance of the common sugar alcohols — laxative effect at doses above ~10–15 g/serving in many adults; threshold is lower in children. Glycemic index (~52) is significantly higher than erythritol (0) or xylitol (~7) — meaningful blood glucose impact at typical serving sizes. The 'sugar-free' marketing claim masks real metabolic effects when consumed in quantity.

A FODMAP sugar alcohol that may trigger GI discomfort (bloating, gas) in individuals with IBS or sorbitol malabsorption, even at small amounts found in supplements. Avoided in low-FODMAP diets.

Rare sugar (D-psicose), naturally found in trace amounts in figs, raisins, and wheat. ~70% sweetness of sucrose. Absorbed but not metabolized — excreted ~70% unchanged in urine. FDA permits exclusion from 'added sugars' labeling.

Fractionated oils rich in C8/C10 triglycerides used as neutral carrier or anti-sticking agent
