Ingredients worth a second look

Vitamin C
  • Citric Acid (Acidifier / Preservative) — Provides tart flavor and helps stabilize the product; while naturally found in citrus, in concentrated form it can erode tooth enamel over time and may irritate sensitive stomachs.
classic 3:1
  • Sugar (Sweetener) — Makes up 56% of the product leading to high sugar consumption per serving; causes rapid blood sugar increase, contributes to energy crashes, dental issues, and long-term risks of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
  • Fully Hydrogenated Coconut Fat (Fat source/Creamer) — Provides rich mouthfeel but consists of saturated fats that can elevate cholesterol levels and increase risk of heart disease when consumed frequently.
  • Glucose Syrup (Sweetener) — Highly refined carbohydrate that adds to the glycemic load, offering empty calories with potential negative effects on metabolic health and weight management.
  • Potassium Phosphate (E340) (Stabilizer) — Maintains product stability but can contribute to high phosphorus intake which may interfere with calcium absorption and burden kidneys over time.
  • Sodium Polyphosphate (E452) (Stabilizer) — Acts as a stabilizer and sequestrant; excessive consumption of phosphates is associated with potential cardiovascular and bone health risks.
  • Milk Protein (Protein/Emulsifier aid) — Supplies dairy-derived protein but poses allergy risk for those with milk protein intolerance or allergy, common food allergen.
  • Salt (Sodium Chloride) (Flavor enhancer) — Adds taste but increases overall sodium content which can contribute to hypertension if the diet is already high in salt.
