One of the ingredients is Sucralose and I usually hate the taste of artificial sweeteners. Can anyone taste it in this?

I agree. You can definitely taste the sucralose and it's nasty. I'm so sorry I purchased this. Why the heck can't they just use sugar?? :(

I'm usually very alert to artificial tastes, but this product tastes like wonderful, dark chocolate cocoa. And it is better than any you can buy at coffee bars (minus the whipped cream, which I decline anyway). My family thinks I make the best hot chocolate, even though Keurig makes it for me! : )

I know the question is old (over a year), but I wanted to put my 2 cents worth in. I saw this question since I was looking up the product, as I had purchased it and noticed that artificial sweetener aftertaste, to which I am very sensitive to. I can't stand ANY artificial sweeteners... and yes, I can taste it in this product. Once I use the box up, not buying it again.

This product tasted so bad I tried it once and trashed it. It had to been the worst I have ever had my entire 60 years alive.

I also tasted an artificial sweet flavor. I was concerned because artificial sweetners give me headaches, so I called the number on the label and the woman that answered promised that there were no artificial sweetners or stevia in it. She claimed it was sweetened with apple pectin and pineapple. But there is no sugar content listed and I still wonder about that sweet flavor because I am diabetic. I did not get headaches from it though. I have since started using the Amazing grass green superfood, but it sure does not taste as good!

I have no idea what sweetener is used, and I was not overjoyed with either the cranberry OR pomegranate flavoring. This would not be one of my recommendations.

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.

To me, erythritol tastes just like sugar, and I am quite picky with my tea sweetener. I do not like truvia....and I can tell if it is in anything. I cannot taste erythritol. I know people vary greatly in this though.

I was wondering the same thing... I always make an effort to take in as littl sugar as possible and this product is very sweet tasting. I loved it but i didnt buy it again because it is a mystery as to how much sugar i am consuming.... i even looked online and at the website; found ZERO info.

The only sugar I see in the ingrediant list is cane juice which is natural. I am sensative to artificial sugar, i can taste it pretty fast and I dont notice any bad weird articial sugars. However the only ingrediant that potentially is concerning for you would be Rebaudioside A since it is one of the components extracted from Stevia, but stevia is a natural low calorie sugar extracted from a plant, not a fake sugar so I am not sure how it would effect you. Hope this helps. Maybe do some research into Rebaudioside A.

Hi, the type of sweetener used is called Sucralose. It is and artificial sweetener that is used in products like: Equal, NutraSweet, etc.

If you check the labels on Splenda or Equal or other Stevia brands you'll find that all the good-tasting artificial sweeteners include a tiny amount of sugar in some form or another. You avoid much larger intake of sugar using these sweeteners over sugar or honey, but it doesn't drop down to 0.I have no problem with that.

Honestly, it tasted like it was sweetened with the stuff that has aspertame in it. So, artificial.

I would say not, but I haven't tried it. I've never met an artificial sweetener that tastes exactly like sugar. It seems there's always an after taste. I think it's the best of the lot even though it is 70% sweet as sugar. Monk fruit extract mixed with this product may be a better combination although I am not sure of the percentages of each to make a mix. I'm going to order this as I have used eryrithritol before and although it is not perfect it is the best of any. Splenda is okay as sweetener but full of chemicals that are a bit scary with potential health problems.

I don't think it does but I have used artificial sweeteners all my life. My husband can taste it in foods but he is overly sensitive to sweets anyway. I'ts definitely worth trying at least one box. I have found it to be the best stevia sweetener on the market. Most brands that are so called "stevia" do not compare as far as ingredients or quality.

Yes, stevia and a small amount of fructose (5 grams per serving)No artificial sweeteners, which is why I use it. I like the taste.

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.

Fructose is one of the ingredients, I think that makes it sweet. The taste is actually a bit sour, more like a citrus fruit.

Sucralose is stated on the list of ingredients on the label. Don't think that such a small amount would be an issue.

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
