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.
Acesulfame PotassiumSweetener
Older NTP rodent studies (1980s, contested) reported lymphoma and leukemia at very high chronic doses; modern reviews (FDA 2003, EFSA 2000) concluded no cancer risk at human exposure levels but the issue is not fully resolved (Mishra 2020 review). Animal evidence suggests gut microbiome disruption (Bian 2017 — male mice on Ace-K showed altered microbiota and metabolic markers). Manufacturing uses methylene chloride, with potential residue concerns. Purely cosmetic additive — risk:benefit unfavorable for supplements.
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.
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.
Sunflower LecithinEmulsifier
Non-GMO, non-allergenic emulsifier derived from sunflower seeds
Whey ProteinProtein Source
Common dairy-derived protein that sometimes appears in the other ingredients list due to label parsing
How to Take It
Take it anytime
No evidence a formula this broad works better at any particular hour. Take it with a meal containing fat — the vitamins A and E in it absorb poorly without one.
With a meal containing fat
Keep it away from high-oxalate foods like spinach, coffee and tea
Space it a couple of hours from Green Tea Leaf Extract
On the label
Mix 2 scoops of the powder into 24 fluid ounces of cold water or milk using an electric blender. Use as a post-workout recovery tool, as part of a complete meal, or in your daily snack routine to raise caloric intake. Want to add even more calories to your shake? Mix in fruits, berries, nuts, peanut butter, and other calorie-contributing foods before blending. TIP: New users should start with a 1-scoop half serving. Use post-workout and/or between meals to add calories, carbs, and protein to your healthy, balanced diet.
