What’s actually in it
first on the label · Protein blend (whey concentrate, calcium caseinate, milk protein isolate, micellar casein, egg albumin, hydrolyzed whey, glutamine peptides), maltodextrin + oat flour, creamer, gum blend, full list read.
⚠amino spiking riskCheap free amino acids (glycine, taurine) inside the protein blend can inflate the lab-tested 'protein' number without feeding a single muscle.
⚠refined oil addedRefined soybean/sunflower/rice-bran oil padding the recipe, extra omega-6 calories you didn't order.
⚠emulsifiersINS 433/471-type emulsifiers keep the powder from clumping; early research links heavy daily intake to gut-lining irritation.
⚠artificial flavour'Artificial flavouring substances' on the label. Not dangerous at these doses, just a sign the food needs a costume.
⚠thickener gumsGuar/xanthan/CMC/carrageenan, thickness that reads as 'richness'. Harmless for most, bloating for some.
The fine print
Maltodextrin: A starch that legally isn’t ‘sugar’, so it never shows in the sugar line, yet has a glycemic index of 85–105, higher than table sugar. The classic ‘sugar-free’ loophole.
Sucralose: Zero-calorie artificial sweetener. Regulators rate it safe at normal intake; a 2023 lab study flagged a trace impurity (sucralose-6-acetate) as genotoxic in cells. Doses there were far above what a scoop delivers.
Acesulfame-K: Zero-calorie artificial sweetener, usually paired with sucralose to round off the aftertaste.
FSSAI: 27 g/100 g · 6.9 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g + per-100 kcal route.
