Protein Pal Analysis
Protein Source
Where the 20g of protein comes from, largest contributor first
Complete protein. Slow digesting, releasing amino acids over several hours.
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.
Incomplete protein. Cooked collagen with no tryptophan, used mainly for texture.
Also Contains
Sugar Alcohols
- Maltitol
A sugar alcohol that does raise blood glucose, with a glycaemic index around 35 where most polyols are near zero. It is the usual cause of the digestive complaints from protein bars: bloating, gas and a laxative effect, typically above roughly 30 to 40g a day.
Livesey, Nutrition Research Reviews (2003) - 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) - Xylitol
A sugar alcohol with a low glycaemic index that can cause digestive upset in larger amounts. A 2024 study associated higher blood xylitol with cardiovascular events, the same observational finding reported for erythritol. Xylitol is also highly toxic to dogs.
Witkowski et al., European Heart Journal (2024)
Seed Oils
- Soybean 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.
