Protein Source
Where the 13g of protein comes from, largest contributor first
Complete protein. The only common plant protein with a full amino acid profile on its own.
Complete protein, fast absorbing. The least processed whey, with more lactose and fat than isolate.
Complete protein. Roughly 80% casein and 20% whey, so it digests slower than whey alone.
Complete protein, fast absorbing. Filtered to remove most of the lactose and fat.
Also Contains
Sugar Alcohols
- Vegetable Glycerin
Chemically a sugar alcohol, used to keep bars soft and moist rather than to sweeten. The EU safety authority found no safety concern at food levels. Large amounts can draw water into the gut and have a laxative effect.
EFSA re-evaluation of glycerol E422 (2017)
Tropical Oils
- Palm Kernel Oil
Pressed from the fruit of the oil palm rather than its seed, so it is not one of the seed oils. Around half saturated fat, mostly palmitic acid, and a meta-analysis of controlled trials found it raises LDL cholesterol compared with vegetable oils low in saturated fat. Palm kernel oil comes from the seed inside the same fruit and carries more saturated fat again. Both stay solid at room temperature without hydrogenation, which is why coatings use them.
Sun et al., Journal of Nutrition (2015)
Seed Oils
- Sunflower Oil
Refined oils high in omega-6 linoleic acid. Controlled trials show oils rich in linoleic acid lower LDL cholesterol compared with saturated fat, and heart health bodies support their use. The concern raised in popular coverage is about the omega-6 to omega-3 balance of the wider diet, and about oxidation products when these oils are repeatedly heated.
