Agave NectarSweetener
Agave nectar is ~70–90% fructose by composition (vs sucrose's 50% and high-fructose corn syrup's 55%). Low glycemic index is a fructose artifact — fructose bypasses insulin-mediated metabolism and is preferentially shuttled to hepatic de novo lipogenesis. Chronic high-fructose intake is associated with hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance, and adverse lipid changes (Stanhope 2009 RCT). The 'natural' / 'healthier than sugar' marketing positioning contradicts the metabolic profile. Per brand voice: this is a clearer case than most of marketing-vs-science divergence.
IsomaltSweetener
A poorly-absorbed sugar alcohol that can cause bloating, gas, and laxative effects at higher doses (EFSA notes laxative threshold for polyols). Tolerable for most, but cumulative across products.
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.
Bamboo ExtractFiller
Plant-derived silica source used as a natural anti-caking agent and carrier (silica content ~70%)
Medium Chain Triglyceride OilCarrier
Fractionated oils rich in C8/C10 triglycerides used as neutral carrier or anti-sticking agent
Calcium CarbonateBuffer
Common calcium salt used as a buffering agent, filler, or mineral fortification 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
