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.
Artificial FlavorsFlavor
Composition is proprietary and not disclosed on the label, so allergens or solvents cannot be verified. Naturally flavored alternatives are more transparent.
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
CocoaFlavor
Common food ingredient used for chocolate flavoring in supplements
Guar GumThickener
Natural thickener derived from guar beans
Gum AcaciaBinder
Natural plant gum (acacia) used as a binder, stabilizer, and emulsifier in foods and supplements
Sea SaltFlavor
Basic food-grade salt used for taste in supplements
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.
With or without food
On the label
Mix about one scoop of the powder into 6 to 8 fluid ounces of cold water, milk or other beverage. Stir, shake or blend until dissolved.
