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.
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.
XylitolSweetener
A FODMAP sugar alcohol that can cause GI distress (bloating, gas, diarrhea) at moderate doses (>10-20g/day), though supplement amounts are typically small. Extremely toxic to dogs — households with pets should store securely.
DextroseSweetener
A simple glucose sugar used as a bulking agent, sweetener, and tablet diluent
Magnesium StearateLubricant
A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production
Natural FlavorsFlavor

'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.
