Hey friends! Have you ever paused to consider what's really in that scoop of protein powder you're adding to your morning shake? The world of protein supplements is vast, and not everything on the shelves is as healthy and pure as it claims to be. Today, we're diving deep into the ingredients that are commonly found in many leading protein powders. 1. Corn Syrup Solids: The Hidden Sugars While protein powders boast muscle repair and energy, many contain corn syrup solids - essentially dehydrated corn syrup. This form of added sugar can contribute to obesity and heart disease. Learn more about its effects here. 2. Sodium Caseinate: More Than Just Protein Frequently used for its stabilizing properties, sodium caseinate is a clear indicator of highly processed food. It's derived from casein, a protein found in milk, and is a common additive in many dietary supplements. 3.Dipotassium Phosphate: Not Just a Simple Additive Commonly used for its stabilizing properties, dipotassium phosphate is considered safe in regulated amounts. However, excessive consumption can be troublesome, particularly for kidney function and potassium levels. 4. Mono and Diglycerides: The Emulsifier Story These are emulsifiers made from fatty acids and glycerol, usually derived from animal or vegetable fats/oils. While generally recognized as safe, they may contain trans fatty acids if manufactured from hydrogenated fats/oils. Curious about their safety? Dive deeper here. 5.Silicon Dioxide: Beyond the Caking Agent A common anti-caking agent, silicon dioxide is mostly safe but has raised some concerns, especially in its nanoparticle form. It might trigger gastrointestinal issues like leaky gut syndrome, although these side effects are considered rare. 6. Soy Lecithin: The Soybean Oil Derivative Soy lecithin, derived from soybean oil, has been linked to various health concerns. High consumption of soybean oil is associated with obesity, diabetes, and potentially neurological conditions. For more insights, check out this article. 7.Titanium Dioxide Color: More Than Just Color Approved by the FDA, titanium dioxide is used for color, but research shows it can have organ-specific toxic effects. These include inflammation and immune system alterations. Interested in the details? Read this study here. 8.Sucralose: The Sweet Deception Also known as Splenda, sucralose is known for being sweeter than sugar and could potentially contribute to a sweet tooth preference. Studies have linked it to higher coronary artery disease risk. Dive into the research here. 9. Acesulfame Potassium: Not Just Sweet This is saccharin (aka Sweet N Low), this sweetener might lead to changes in human metabolism. Stepping into the world of protein supplements can often feel like navigating a complex maze. I hope this information makes you ask what's in my protein powders? Our Gourmet Protein Powders and Lattes simplifies this journey by offering a clean, straightforward solution. With just three easily pronounceable ingredients in our vanilla protein powder, that were once living, our collagen protein aligns perfectly with your pursuit of a natural, health-focused lifestyle. Remember to always make informed choices about your nutrition. Let your curiosity guide you and prioritize your wellness. Our product is here to support you on this journey towards a healthier, more vibrant you. 🌱✨ Embrace the power of simplicity and transparency in your health regimen. Stay informed, stay healthy, and most importantly, stay true to what your body needs.

Tell us anything else you would like us to know. My life has been a world of struggles and joyous occasions. Each life event, even to this day - fuels for the opportunity to grow and improve - not for somebody else - but improve for myself, my well being, my personal mind and for my business. To have a successful woman owned boutique business, you are always struggling as they say " to just keep swimming " to keep pushing forward through the challenges ( yes, there are many ). With my business, we want to make sure our clients are well-informed, educated and always treated with the respect they deserve, no matter what their circumstances and or price point. We specialize in Real Estate, yes, but my business also has the knowledge and expertise to help in short sale options and/or foreclosure which are very difficult and embarrassing times for a family or individual who is struggling. We have the compassion to assist the families having to handle estate sales - timely and efficiently during a very difficult time in their lives. We are not only your neighbor but we are your neighborhood professionals and your family matters. Connect with Lisa Webb
