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.

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.

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.

Magnesium StearateLubricant

A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production

Beetroot Juice PowderColorant

Natural red colorant and mild flavoring derived from beetroot; often spray-dried onto maltodextrin carrier

CrospovidoneDisintegrant
