Greens Powder Costs Getting Out of Hand

Reading the label, this B-12 supplement scores a near-perfect 9.9, largely because it clocks in with zero sugar. The ingredient list is straightforward: Mannitol as the base and Crospovidone for binding, with Cyanocobalamin for the vitamin itself. The natural cherry flavoring and Sucralose do the heavy lifting here. It's the kind of thing you could easily stash in a desk drawer at the office for a midday boost without worrying about a sugar crash later. While it dissolves cleanly, there's a distinct medicinal aftertaste that lingers if you don't drink water right away. It's not unpleasant, just very specific.

This Smooth Vanilla Whey Protein boasts a 9.9 score and a clean 0g sugar profile, which is impressive for a powder that mixes this easily. The core ingredients are a blend of concentrate and isolate, with Maltodextrin likely aiding the texture. It features Sea Salt and a gum blend, which helps it froth up nicely in a shaker bottle. I imagine this being a reliable staple for a gym bag, mixing into a smooth shake that doesn't separate immediately. However, the 'Natural & Artificial Flavor' creates a sweetness that borders on candy-like for some palates. It's great for recovery, but if you prefer a truly neutral base for smoothies, this might be too sweet.

With a 9.9 score and zero sugar, this Women's Daily Probiotic looks solid on paper. The ingredient list is a targeted mix of heavy hitters like Lactobacillus plantarum and the UREX™ blend. It seems designed for consistent, daily maintenance rather than a quick fix. The capsules are standard size, easy enough to swallow with morning coffee. It's the kind of supplement you take religiously and maybe don't notice working until you realize you haven't had issues in weeks. The only real trade-off is that, like many high-potency blends, some people might experience initial bloating as their system adjusts. It's a common hurdle with probiotics, not a defect.

This Dim Supplement hits a 9.9 score, though the ingredients list is currently marked as 'updating,' which gives one pause. It's strictly zero sugar, which is a plus for anyone monitoring glycemic impact. Supplements like this are often used for hormonal balance, but the lack of specific ingredient transparency right now is the main hurdle. It's the sort of product you buy for the specific compound (DIM) rather than flavor or texture, as it's likely a standard capsule. Without the full breakdown, it's hard to gauge the fillers, but the score suggests high purity. A solid option if you trust the brand, but I'd check the bottle label upon arrival.

This plant-based protein scores a 9.9 and keeps it simple with 0g sugar. The blend relies on Pea Protein Isolate and Quinoa, with Cocoa Powder giving it a chocolate profile. It includes a gum blend for texture and Maltodextrin, which helps it dissolve better than many plant powders. It's a solid option for a late-night shake when you want to avoid dairy. The trade-off is the texture; plant proteins can have a grittier mouthfeel than whey, and this one has a distinct earthy note from the pea and quinoa mix. It's not bad, just different, and the cocoa helps mask it well enough.
