Avoid the hidden nasties in your protein powder
You might be surprised by what’s really inside some of the “top-selling” protein powders. Look closely and you'll find a cocktail of ultra-processed junk your body doesn’t need and they're all things we leave out:
Artificial sweeteners
Like sucralose and acesulfame potassium which are linked to gut disruption and long-term health concerns.
Synthetic emulsifiers
Like soy lecithin are ultra-processed and often completely unnecessary.
Fake flavours and colours
Including tartrazine and Allura Red, banned or restricted in parts of the world.
Fillers and thickeners
Like maltodextrin used to mask cheap ingredients, as a bulking agent to save cost and extend shelf life. But, it spikes blood sugar faster than table sugar and may also disrupt gut bacteria.
