Sucralose and Acesulfame potassium
I'm a big fan of your products, but I did not expect your flavored Pre and BCAA powder to have artificial ~chemical~ sweeteners (Sucralose and Acesulfame potassium). I wish your flavored products contained stevia or a similar natural flavor, like that in Vega pre-workout energizer. I buy the unflavored pre and BCAA (which is bitter, but a lesser evil that chemical sweetners). Please consider flavored products without Sucralose and Acesulfame potassium.

We are working to make our product line more natural in regards to flavoring and sweetener. We recently launched a new All-Natural Whey Protein Isolate using stevia and all natural flavors with absolutely no coloring. It’s available in vanilla with chocolate coming soon. We have also converted the whey isolate to Non-GMO. We hope to start introducing more products with natural sweeteners in the near future. Any product that we offer flavored will always be offered in a clean version with no flavoring sweeteners or additives of any kind. Our unflavored BCAA has no additives whatsoever. We do not add soy lecithin to make it more dispersible in water, so it takes a couple extra minutes to completely dissolve. Its taste is also off a bit because we use only naturally fermented BCAAs. Unfermented BCAA’s are made from human hair and duck feathers which we don’t use. So there is a little give and take on this product, to achieve the absolutely purest and cleanest natural- BCAA we give up a little in the area of taste and ease in dissolving. I recommend using a shaker cup, and let it sit for an extra 2-3 minutes. If you don’t have any I would be happy to send you a free NutraBio shaker cup. NutraBio’s mission has always been to offer the absolute purest and most potent supplements manufactured in the rawest and cleanest way possible. Early on we refused to flavor any of our products but over time customers demanded it so have added them to our product line. Since our goal was purity, all products are offered in unflavored versions and we do not use any excipients, fillers or additives. Since our goal is purity, you won’t find any artificial colors or even natural colors in our product because we consider colors to be an excipient that is unneeded even in a flavored product. Frankly, NutraBio has not always had a goal to be an all-natural brand, which is why when we do flavor a product you will see sucralose and artificial sweeteners. NutraBio is changing now and looking to take our products more in a natural direction so you will see more products being sweetened with stevia and natural based flavors. Thank you for taking the time out to provide us with your feedback. It's much appreciated! if you should have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
