Protein Source
Where the 17g of protein comes from, largest contributor first
Complete protein. Whey that has been pre broken down, making it the fastest absorbing form.
Incomplete protein. No tryptophan and very little leucine, so it counts toward the label's protein but contributes little to muscle.
Incomplete protein. Cooked collagen with no tryptophan, used mainly for texture.
Also Contains
Sugar Alcohols
- 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.
