ErythritolSweetener

Witkowski et al. 2023 (Nature Medicine, PMID 36849732) reported elevated plasma erythritol associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in two cohorts (n=4,000+), with in-vitro and ex-vivo evidence of enhanced platelet aggregation. Replication is ongoing; FDA and EFSA have not changed their safety positions, but the signal is real and the additive is purely cosmetic. Better-established concern: GI tolerance — single doses above ~50 g cause osmotic diarrhea. Lower threshold for children.

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.

Beet ColorColorant

Natural red-pink colorant from dehydrated beets or beet juice; the pigment is betanin

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.

Silicon DioxideAnti-caking

Fine silica powder used to prevent clumping

Stevia ExtractSweetener

Zero-calorie natural sweetener extracted from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana

Citric AcidAcidulant

Natural acid derived from citrus fruits

Guar GumThickener

Natural thickener derived from guar beans

How to Take It

Best taken in the morning

Contains Caffeine, which is stimulating — keep it to the morning. Carnitine is easier on the stomach taken with food.

With food

Arginine does better on an empty stomach, but something else in this bottle needs food. Taking the whole product with a meal is the better trade — an upset stomach is why most people stop.

On the label

Mix 1 1/2 level tablespoons in 14-16 oz of water or other beverage 20-30 minutes before workout.

General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
