The fine print
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.
FSSAI: 88 g/100 g · 24.4 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g + per-100 kcal route. Sold as ‘protein’, scored where protein actually counts: a 88 g label at PDCAAS 0.00 = ~0 g your muscles can build with. Collagen lacks tryptophan entirely. Fine for what it’s for (skin/joints), useless as a protein supplement.
