What’s actually in it
first on the label · Whey protein isolate, cocoa powder, DigeZyme, nature-identical flavour, lecithin (322i), full list read.
⚠thickener gumsGuar/xanthan/CMC/carrageenan, thickness that reads as 'richness'. Harmless for most, bloating for some.
✓digestive enzymesDigeZyme-style enzymes that help whey sit easier, useful if milk usually argues with you.
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: 83 g/100 g · 22.5 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g + per-100 kcal route. Label: 25 g protein, 1.83 g carbs, 0.46 g fat per 30 g scoop; newer packs advertise 30 g protein from a bigger 36.4 g scoop, same ~83% purity.
