Protein Source
Where the 20g of protein comes from, largest contributor first
Complete protein. Roughly 80% casein and 20% whey, so it digests slower than whey alone.
Complete protein. Whey that has been pre broken down, making it the fastest absorbing form.
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. Slow digesting, releasing amino acids over several hours.
Complete protein. The only common plant protein with a full amino acid profile on its own.
Complete protein. Roughly 80% casein and 20% whey, so it digests slower than whey alone.
Incomplete protein. Cooked collagen with no tryptophan, used mainly for texture.
Complete protein from milk, mostly casein.
Also Contains
Sugar Alcohols
- Maltitol Syrup
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) - Glycerine
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) - Erythritol
A sugar alcohol that is close to zero calorie, does not raise blood glucose, and is better tolerated digestively than most polyols. A 2023 study associated higher blood erythritol with cardiovascular events and found increased platelet clotting in a small trial. That evidence is observational and is not proof of harm.
Witkowski et al., Nature Medicine (2023)
Tropical Oils
- Fractionated Palm Kernel, Palm 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
- Canola Oil, 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.
