What’s actually in it

first on the label · Whey protein concentrate, cocoa (alkali), whey powder, fat powder (refined coconut oil, INS 471), natural & artificial flavors, full list read.

artificial flavour'Artificial flavouring substances' on the label. Not dangerous at these doses, just a sign the food needs a costume.
emulsifiersINS 433/471-type emulsifiers keep the powder from clumping; early research links heavy daily intake to gut-lining irritation.
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: 71 g/100 g · 19.3 g/100 kcal, may legally print “HIGH PROTEIN” via the per-100 g + per-100 kcal route.
