What type of sweetener is used in this product? I read the label and don't see a sweetener listed, but some reviews say it is very sweet.

It is sweetened with acesulfame-potassium: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acesulfame_potassium

I use the Dymatize Elite Whey Protein Isolate, rich chocolate. I've been on it for about a year and a half now. According to the label, the only sweetener that I can identify is Acesulflame-Potassium. If you Google that ingredient you can get the details. Also, you can contact Dymatize in America by dialing (888) 334-LEAN or (972) 732-1990. Their address is 13737 N. Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75234.

Hi,I wouldn't say it's sweet, at all. It's a very easily mixed drink and doesn't thicken up like some shakes do, like Syntha 6. The reasons I love it is because of it's mixability with water, very low carbs, no sugar, low fats and high protein. They do say that there are NO ADDED Sucrose, Fillers, Maltodextrin or Aspartmane. Quite an interesting find, let me know if you figure out anything further. Thanks.BTW: I have the 5lb tub of Cafe Mocha, amazing.

It is stevia rebaudiana (leaf) which I believe is the only form of stevia approved by the FDA as a sweetener. I am; however, not too happy with this sweetener right now. Nunaturals changed their supplier and the product is not as thick as before. It easily drips from the stopper and is not as sweet as it used to be.

The type of sweetener is unclear, one site said sucralose but I have a single serve pack that says stevia.

Amazon asked me if I would answer this question, although I suspect it was rhetorical. My only guess is that whoever is selling it, assumed it was calorie-free because it is considered an "artificial" sweetener. Maybe someone should tell them...

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

My guess would be Stevia... I LOVE this tea, and there is no way based on the other ingredients listed that it could be as sweet as it is without some outside help. Given that we know it's sugar-free, and that whatever it is is "natural," my deduction is Stevia or some other sweetener.

You can view the label on linef.....supposed to be all natural....the only thing that I didnt like was the stevia. Although it is supposed to be in a natural form, I dont tolerate artificial sweeteners and it made me sick.

The "other ingredients" that could be sweeteners are: cherry flavor, bitter masking agent and caramel color. However, this stuff does not taste sweet in any way to me. It's quite bitter.

Not sugar free (5g per tbsp); dried cane syrup is the only sweetener I see on the jar label.

ERYTHRITOL IS THE PRIMARY INGREDIENT in this sweetener, not stevia. Erythritol is listed before the other ingredient, stevia rebaudiana, which means there's more erythritol than stevia in this sweetener.MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE [cleverly written] LABEL - it says "we use only stevia extract with at least 95% pure glycosides" - get that? That means that the stevia extract - the SECONDARY ingredient in this product - contains at least 95% steviol glycoside. IT DOES NOT MEAN that 95% is stevia and the rest is erythritol ... far from it. If the actual amounts of erythritol and stevia were openly disclosed on the label, they'd never sell much of it.

Use Splenda for a while, and imagine it in a much much much smaller quantity to get the same sweet, without as much aftertaste because there are no other fillers, additives or things like that. Like any other sugar substitute, it's all about moderation, if you use too much it may get sweeter, but there is a point where it tastes "wrong' so to speak.

what I buy is sweetened with pure cane sugar. They do sell a sugar free because I was sent some by accident. It was good also.

There is no sweetener added, just palm fruit oil which I believed is used for consistency because I imagine in their processing they lose some of the oil from the almond. Ideally, I wish they added nothing.

I am unsure what you are asking, what ingredients are the sweeteners or was it sweet? I can say it's the only protein shake mixed with only water without gagging.

In a hour as I am not home right now so stay tun. I will tell you this however, it is sugarless. As you know it is sweetened with stevia and by far stevia is the best sugarless sweetener I have ever tasted!

I did not use this product. I found that the product was very artificial tasting. I suspect the product had artificial sweeteners. I disposed of the product.

I has artificial sweeteners, and i was not used to how sweet it was. I have cleansed my pallet, so i am used to not a lot of sweetness from my supplements. It is not to sweet, but i don't really have that sweet tooth any more for my supplements.
