Very good question, Catherine. A well hidden source no doubt, just hope it's not aspartame. I use the powder with my own fluoride filter out water, but it sounds like you may be a researcher. If you can ferret it out please let me know.

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).

Propylene glycol is an organic compound. Flavors must be stored in some form of an alcoholic base. Many tinctures use just regular alcohol, this however creates a vile taste, completely defeating the purpose of putting it in anything. Thus, propylene glycol is used. You are correct, propylene glycol is used as a base for many scents and flavors, it's even used in hookah tobacco and electronic cigarettes. Propylene glycol, being an organic compound, is one of the healthiest and safest solvents there is. The flavorings sustained in the propylene glycol were extracted from natural sources, however if the bottle were to be pure flavoring, it would make it useless, because even a single drop of flavoring would be too intense in most cases. Just because they use something has many uses in human consumable products doesn't mean it's unsafe, quite the contrary actually.

Make sure you use real vanilla. Propylene Glycol, a common ingredient in imitation vanilla, is an edible antifreeze.

The old formula was sweetened with a very small amount of fructose. The formula was recently changed and now Xylitol is the main sweetening agent with a trivial amount of Stevia. We have stopped ordering this product due to the switch to Xylitol. Xylitol does not belong in children's vitamins.

It DOES contain MALTITOL, which is a sugar substitute similar to sucrose. Maltitol is a sugar alcohol, but has less effect on blood glucose levels than sugar. It is the last item in the ingredient list, except for water, so it's probably in very small amounts. Other ingredients are listed as :non-GMO starch, glycerin, carrageenan, water. I don't think it is available in any other formula without the maltitol.

I initially answered "I don't know" because you asked about the natrual flavor and I have Vanilla. However, I checked the label and for sweetener it states Stevia Extract 50 mg and under "Other Ingredients" it includes organic evaporated cane juice sugar - no amount given.
