Does this product contain the natural stevia and not sucralose and those other horrible sweetners?

It does have stevia leaf extract, but otherwise it is a very clean protein.

The label says 2g Sugars in the Nutrition Panel. Listed ingredients include the words Stevia Leaf extract. It is really not a sweet tasting product at all, rather more of a raw protein that must be additionally sweetened if you are comparing it to the normal protein shake powder on the market like Muscle Milk. Since it is in this basic raw form, it is easily added to baking and already prepared foods like oatmeal, without adding additional sweetness.

I like the Vanilla-Praline. It does not have any sweeteners. Natural sweetness from whey is 2g per scoop.

Stevia is NOT an artificial sweetener! It's a little strong tasting, but it's NOT artificial!!

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

No it does not. This product contains no artifical preservatives, color or sweeteners; no dairy, gluten, soy, wheat or yeast.

It's unflavored so there's no sweetener in it at all. Also, Stevia is not artificial, it's a plant. Easy to confuse, but 'sugar substitute' and 'artificial sweetener' are not always the same. There are alternatives to sugar that are natural such as stevia and xylitol. The artificial ones are man-made like aspartame and saccharin. It's moot for this product though b/c none of those are in it! Sweeten with fruit, milk or whatever you like!

Sorry, the email from Amazon doesn't specify which item you're asking about. Are you talking about the chocolate stevia? If so, the only ingredients listed on the label are, in order: Purified Water, Stevia (Leaf) Extract & under "Other Ingredients," they list "Natural Flavors." SweetLeaf has a website, though, so they may give more information there, or a contact email. Good luck.

the ingredients state that it contains sugar and corn syrup, depending on the flavor it will have other flavoring and acids. It also contains d-sorbitol, which is sugar alcohol. If you're looking for an all natural product this isn't it, but it DOES have great taste.

I am not sure I know the answer. I did not see any sugars listed in the ingredients either. All I can tell you is that I never like any drinks sweeten w stevia, because I found it to have a lot of after taste, but I do not experience this w this protein. The label does list 1.5 grams of sugar. If you are concerned about sugar intake because of health issues, like diabetes, I would call the manufacturer. I usually add a ripe banana or a banana and a half, (which have a lot of natural sugar) ice and water. I found it to be delicious, very filling and w no after taste. Good luck. I hope this helps you.

Hey Britt, judging by the taste (outrightly bitter) and by some discussions that i have seen on couple of other forums i would say it dos not have sweeteners or artificial flavours. Cannot say the same for preservatives though.

We just called the company. According to their customer service rep, this stevia has ALWAYS had maltodextrin in it. He said that it's just residue from the machinery. He refused to comment on why they're suddenly including it on their labels or why their label used to guarantee no additional ingredients if it had maltodextrin. Then he invited us to buy from someone else if we don't like it. So we are.

Went back and checked again after reading other responses. Yes it does have Stevia.

It contains sucralose (the same as "Splenda"). This is often labeled as a natural sweetener but more an more studies are showing that it is harmful.

No msg! The label reads Ingredients: Purified Water, Organic Stevia leaf extract, Natural Flavors. That's all. Should you want to investigate further contact: Product of Wisdom Natural Brands - Gilbert, AZ 85233 or 800-899-9908

It isn't Stevia. It is a partial extract from the Stevia Leaf mixed with Maltodextrin which is misleading at best. You are much better of getting real Stevia.
