Protein Pal Analysis

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.

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) - 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) - 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.
