Is Dokkan Aburadas Premium Gluten Free?

The Ingredient Breakdown

As a food scientist, I look past the marketing buzzwords like "plant fermentation" and go straight to the label. Dokkan Aburadas Premium is a complex formula, but complexity introduces risk for those avoiding gluten. The primary concern lies in the grain and filler section of the ingredient list.

The most significant red flag is Barley. Barley is a distinct gluten-containing grain. It is often used in Japanese supplements for its fiber content or as a base for fermentation (like Koji). However, for anyone with Celiac disease, even trace amounts of barley can trigger an immune response. It is not a hidden derivative; it is listed clearly.

Further down the list, we see Lactose. While lactose is a milk sugar and not a grain, it is an immediate dealbreaker for anyone following a strict gluten-free lifestyle who also happens to be dairy-free. Additionally, the presence of Indigestible Dextrin can sometimes be derived from wheat. While it is often processed to remove gluten, in a supplement without a "Certified Gluten-Free" seal, we cannot guarantee the source or the processing standards to prevent cross-contamination.

Finally, the sheer volume of ingredients—over 50 different extracts and powders—creates a high probability of cross-contamination. Unless the manufacturer explicitly tests for gluten (which this product does not claim to do), the facility likely processes wheat or barley elsewhere.

Nutritional Value

Dokkan Aburadas Premium is marketed as a dietary supplement rather than a meal replacement, so the calorie count is relatively low per serving. However, the ingredient list includes Fructo-oligosaccharide and Monk Fruit Extract, which are used to provide sweetness without spiking blood sugar drastically. Despite this, the inclusion of fruit powders and lactose adds a small amount of sugar to the mix.

From a macronutrient perspective, this product is low in fat and protein. It is designed to be a micronutrient powerhouse, delivering a massive spectrum of vitamins (A, C, D, E, B-complex) and minerals (Zinc, Selenium). It fits well into a diet focused on vitamin supplementation, but it should not be relied upon for satiety or energy. The L-carnitine and L-ornithine suggest it is targeted toward energy metabolism and fatigue reduction.
