Protein Source
Where the 20g of protein comes from, largest contributor first
Complete protein, fast absorbing. The least processed whey, with more lactose and fat than isolate.
Complete protein, fast absorbing. Filtered to remove most of the lactose and fat.
Complete protein. Roughly 80% casein and 20% whey, so it digests slower than whey alone.
Also Contains
Tropical Oils
- Palm Oil, 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)
Sugar Alcohols
- Glycerol, 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)
Preservatives
- TBHQ
Preservatives that stop fats going rancid. BHA is classified by the WHO cancer agency as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on animal studies; BHT is rated not classifiable. Both are permitted at limited levels.
