Why is there sucralose in the ingredients list? Please take that junk out of a "healty" supplement and I will buy it.

sucralose is an artificial sweetener also known as Splenda. It's in there obviously is an artificial sweetener to enhance the flavor. I understand some people wish to avoid artificial sweeteners and certainly there are a lot of questions about artificial sweeteners. however this product probably would not taste very good if it if it were not for sweeteners.shoes has to be made for the 2 years natural sugars or artificial sweeteners. Many persons who drink this food supplement may be a diabetic and natural sugar would not be good for a diabetic.

The label says there is LESS THAN 1% of sucralose and the healthy ingredients far outweigh the "junk". My husband is diabetic and had an open heel wound that would not close for six months sending his blood sugars even higher. A nurse friend told me about Premier Protein, the doctor approved the product and after one month the wound finally closed. If you can tolerate sugar, go for Boost or Ensure!

If you do not have a problem with sugar then buy a regular protein drink. I am diabetic and I need my protein shake to be low carb, high protein. I think these products are mainly for people who are trying to eat low carb.

You are in the minority and are not the target market. I cannot have anything with soy and must scan labels for soy. If you are allergic to splenda, or prefer not to have you just need to read the labels as the rest of us do. I buy splenda in bulk from Costco.

I made the terrible mistake and added one of these drinks to my smoothie & drank it all & immediately got very ill! Come to find out it was due to the sucralose ingredient! I rarely have anything that contains this & I was ill for approximately one in a half days. Horrible!

I think you're going to have to ask the makers of this product that question. You might also consult a vet nutritionist to find out why. I'm not all that worried about the contents of the 'sugar' which I assume you mean the sorbitol it contains.

Here is what the bottle says on the back under "Other Ingredients: Dicalcium phosphate anhydrous, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, silcon dioxide, hydroxypropylcellulose, magnesium stearate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, dextrose, soy lecitin, sodium citrate and dextrin. The primary ingredients are listed as: LuraLean (Glucomannan)(Amorphophallus konjac)(root), African Mango, Lychee extract, white Kidney Bean extract." I kept the bottle to remind me never ever to buy something like this again. It was a complete waste of money. As I said in the review, eat 2-3 tablespoons of sugar free jello and you'll put more bulk into your stomach than these pills do.

I agree. You can definitely taste the sucralose and it's nasty. I'm so sorry I purchased this. Why the heck can't they just use sugar?? :(

It does not report to contain maltodextrin or alcohol or sucralose either. I'm super allergic to sucralose and this suits me nicely.

Long list: sugar, gum base, glucose syrup, modified food starch, artificial and natural flavoring, aspartame, candelilla wax, yellow 5, blue 1, partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, water. Nothing healthy...but I do not swallow!

label shows sugar glucose syrup solids lactose cellulose gum sucralose and other things which are not in the "ose" category

Sucralose is listed about the sixth ingredient, after potassium benzoate (freshness) and before green tea extract. But, there is no caffeine. I'm reading from the Lemonade ICE. Don't have an orange mango bottle to read from.

Now Foods Dextrose in the in the brown bag is labeled as "Always Non-GMO". So I believe this one here is GMO. And why would they sell something that is Non-GMO and not write it on the label of this ugly designed jar ;)

SUCRALOSE, aka Splenda, is NOT safe. Read this article from Prevention: http://www.prevention.com/food/healthy-eating-tips/health-risks-sucralose

Hi everyone, This is Jeff from Integrated Sports Nutrition. We formulated and produce Red Leaf Pre-Workout Energizer. The supplement facts panels for dietary supplements are a little different than for regular food products. Sorry for any confusion. There is 0 grams sugar and 0 carbs. To be super precise, there is a trace amount of carbs from the natural lime flavoring, but it rounds down to 0 (per FDA labeling guidelines). The sweetness comes from the combo of natural flavoring and the sweetener - which is sucralose. Sucralose is the same thing as Splenda (the yellow packets you see at Starbucks). But we use very little of that, less than the equivalent of 1/5 a pack of Splenda. It's the combo of these various ingredients that makes the product taste sweet - even though it has 0 sugar. It was a painstaking flavoring process that took over 1 year to get right. It's because anything with any green tea or caffeine in it is nasty. So covering that up without using a ton of flavoring and sweetener is a bear. But we did it, using a very minimal amount of flavoring and sucralose. Hope you like it. Feel free to email me at jeff@isnlabs.com with any questions at all. Best regards, Jeff ISN

I don't remember seeing aspartame on the label but I know it has a lot if sucralose in it.

According to the list of ingredients it contains none of those things. It sold as a whole food supplement, so just to trust that is just that.

I don't know what sucralose is. Sour Sop has no additives. Only pure healthy restorative properties. I love it

if it has SLS as ingredient, why do they still advertise it as natural? Zzzzzz

I'd like to answer the question further - it contains corn syrup, artificial flavorings, sucrose, glucose, etc. YUK!

My guess is that the FDA intention with that category is to identify how much of the specifically investigated forms of dietary fiber the product contains. Fiber is actually a complex cluster of different polysaccharides with similar digestive properties. They aren't committing to saying that everything in that cluster meets the recommended requirements for health intended by dietary fiber. The FDA labeling site doesn't mention glucomannen among it's recommended forms of dietary fiber. Great question by the way!
