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.

Natural and Artificial FlavorsFlavor

The 'artificial' component means synthetic chemicals are used, but the exact compounds are proprietary and not disclosed on the label. If you have sensitivities or allergies, you cannot verify what's in it. Products using only natural flavors are more transparent.
