Also Contains

Stimulants

  • Coffee

    A stimulant, and ingredient lists rarely state the amount. The EU safety authority puts single doses of no concern at 200mg and habitual daily intake at 400mg for healthy adults, lower in pregnancy.

    EFSA opinion on the safety of caffeine (2015)

Seed Oils

  • Sunflower 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.

    American Heart Association advisory, Circulation (2017)

Refined Carbohydrates

  • Maltodextrin

    A rapidly digested glucose polymer made from corn, rice or tapioca starch. It raises blood glucose at least as fast as table sugar but counts as carbohydrate rather than sugar on the label, so a low-sugar product can still deliver a fast glucose load. The amounts used in protein products are usually small.

    Hofman et al., Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition (2016)

Sweeteners

  • Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose

    Synthetic zero-calorie sweeteners such as sucralose, acesulfame potassium and aspartame. Regulators consider them safe at typical intakes, but the WHO advises against using non-sugar sweeteners for weight control, finding no long-term benefit, and in 2023 classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic while leaving its acceptable daily intake unchanged.
