Why won't they include an ingredients' list? That makes me suspicious right there. I don't think it is any kind of a business secret as someone wanting to make a competitive product would hire people to analyse the ingredients and identify them. I think they don't list the ingredients for consumers because they don't want us to know. And don't fool yourself that you there are no adverse effects when you use things like this.

thanks much. i appreciate your feedback. i wonder why most supplements on amazon do NOT list all ingredients? and why doesn't the supplier answer questions as well??!! strange...

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...

Yes. Sugar is the first ingredient listed on the label. There is also fruit juice (which obviously has its own sugars), but no other sweeteners listed.

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.

No there are no artificial colors or flavors and NO ASPARTAME, which is why we buy it. Flavor lasts longer with this one than the other brand also. Enjoy, chew be healthy amen? :0)

The ingredient list is on the label. There is no FDA nutrition chart. This Now brand "Better Stevia" is the best stevia sweetener I have tried, it's a lot sweeter than other brands so you use less and there's no bitter aftertaste.

I don't see that ingredient listed. Lots of other ingredients. Maybe you should go by a store that carries this product and check the list.

Unfortunately, I tossed away the box for this particular 'dark" product. However, I also have "milk chocolate" of the same brand and as far as I can see there is no aspartame.

I want to clarify that the primary sweetener is Maltodextrin. It is a starch and sugar free. Stevia is also used. We're in the process of having the label updated to reflect this and in the meantime wish to post our reply here to help eliminate any confusion. Sincerely,Ann Parker

Peacenik, I recently purchased this product and have recently used it to make a chocolate sugar-free frosting. It is amazing...very smooth taste. So the ingredients say that it contains organic cocoa powder and for the acidity regulator, it uses potassium carbonate. It says that it may contain milk, soy, nuts, and cereals. This is in all caps after the previous two ingredients. I am thinking that it is processed in a facility where these other things are processed so if you have an allergy, you might not want it. But these items are not part of the ingredient list.

Becca, phenylalanine is an essential amino acid. The DNA in your body requires it. I assume you are asking this because you got freaked out by another reviewer's misinformation. There are a very tiny percentage of people who have adverse reactions to phenylalanine, but it is NOT a cancer causing derivative of aspartame as other reviews claim. This product does contain some phenylalanine, but unless you are one of the very tiny percentage of people with the inability to properly process the essential amino acid, you have no reason for concern. I only respond as I despise misinformation being propagated by the uninformed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine

It's made from an herb. Artificial sweeteners need to be made in a lab. Consider this: Japan does not use Aspartame or Sucralose in their soft drinks. But they do use stevia. I have been using stevia for years. Aspartame gave me headaches and the sucralose caused cravings for sweets. Just try it and see. You can contact the company to see how the stevia powder is processed. I use NOW or BulkSupplements and have confidence in both companies.

I just copied and pasted the following list of ingredients found in powdered Propel. I do not know all the different names of artificial sweeteners but it looks like only sucralose. Hope this helps.Ingredients: Citric acid, calcium citrate, calcium chloride, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), sucralose, natural and artificial flavor, silicon dioxide, niacinamide (vitamin B3), calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor), calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5), acesulfame potassium, vitamin E acetate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12).

Sucralose otherwise known as Splenda. I react to fake sugars yet I am able to drink this! NO Aspartame! I can't consume Aspartame. Aspartame gives me a headache. I think the percent of Sucralose in this drink is ver y low and that is why I tolerate it well. My suggestion is try it!

I posted a review on here. It does not have artificial sweeteners. I purchased this solely because of that. If you want to sweeten it you can add your own sugar or sweetener to it.
