On a personal note, a few years ago I used Gaspari Nutrition products exclusively when I was training 5-6 days a week. Very quality product (but was very pricey) and I had zero complaints with the company. This is a great price.
I’m no doctor nor do I pretend to be one, but when I was doing research on what types of protein powders to buy I came across some interesting info on Acesulfame Potassium or Ace K. one of the ingredients listed in this product.
If you are trying to stay away from artificial sweeteners, you might want to check out the link.
I agree. But it looks like the cookie dough does not contain these, and still has low sugar. Why even use the artificial ones when they have a bad after taste?
…and click on the “supplement facts” button under the pic of the smiling guy in the upper right corner, the ingredient list seems to show Acesulfame Potassium and Sucrose listed there…
There’s partially hydrogenated soybean oil in this “health” drink.
Gaspari has established a pattern of making a good product, then discontinuing it and making worse substitutes while keeping the price the same. They used to sell IntraPro, a whey isolate which had very few funny ingredients (maybe the artificial sweetener) and in chocolate, would have still tasted good even if it were bad for you. Eventually they discontinued it.
MyoFusion has gone the same route. First they had original MyoFusion, which was decent (but not as great as IntraPro). Then they gradually discontinued original MyoFusion and made MyoFusion Probiotic, which was too thick to drink, and the probiotics were dead by the time you opened the jug anyway. Now they make protein powder with partially hydrogenated soybean oil.

Worse than that (higher in the ingredient list), is the partially hydrogenated soybean oil (trans fat). It’s labeled as 0g per serving but it doesn’t take an entire gram per serving to add up quickly if you’re drinking these multiple times per day.
