Ingredient Decoder

Moderate Caution

Palm Oil

A vegetable fat high in saturated fatty acids. Its massive production is a primary driver of deforestation, endangering species like orangutans. Refined palm oil may also contain harmful contaminants.

Dextrose

A simple sugar chemically identical to glucose. It absorbs instantly into the bloodstream, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes. Often used as a filler.

Erythritol

A popular sugar alcohol. While generally keto-friendly, recent 2023 studies have associated high blood levels of erythritol with an increased risk of blood clotting and stroke.

Polydextrose

A synthetic polymer of glucose used to add bulk to low-calorie foods. Can cause significant gas, bloating, and laxative effects.

Sunflower Oil

Often perceived as healthy, but high-oleic versions are better. Standard sunflower oil is very high in inflammatory Omega-6s.

Full Ingredients List:

Protein Blend (Milk Protein Isolate, Dried Egg Whites, Whey Protein Isolate), Erythritol, Water, Collagen Peptides, Polydextrose, High Oleic Sunflower Oil and/or Palm Oil, Glycerin, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Natural Flavors, Modified Resistant Tapioca Starch, Baking Soda, Xanthan Gum, Sunflower Lecithin, Sea Salt, Citric Acid, Sucrose Fatty Acid Esters, Guar Gum, Cocoa Extract, Cellulose, Sucralose, Cellulose Gum.
