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. Roughly 80% casein and 20% whey, so it digests slower than whey alone.

Also Contains
Sugar Alcohols
- 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.

Tropical Oils
- Palm Kernel Oil
Palm oil is pressed from the fruit of the oil palm; palm kernel oil comes from the seed inside that same fruit. Neither is a typical seed oil: the concerns people cite when avoiding seed oils are a high omega-6 linoleic acid load and the oxidation that polyunsaturated fats are prone to during refining and heating, and both palm oils are mostly saturated fat, with very little omega-6 and much greater oxidative stability. Palm oil is 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 is more saturated again. Both stay solid at room temperature without hydrogenation, which is why coatings use them.

Emulsifiers & Thickeners
- Carrageenan
A seaweed extract used to stop drinks separating. Animal and cell studies report inflammation and irritation of the gut lining. Human evidence at the levels used in food is limited, and regulators currently consider it safe.
Tobacman, Environmental Health Perspectives (2001) - Cellulose Gum
Also called carboxymethylcellulose, a thickener. A randomised controlled feeding trial in healthy adults found it altered gut bacteria and reduced the protective mucus layer of the gut. The trial was small and short.
