Is it whole fruit or is the active ingredient extracted? Does it contain the same amount of fructose as the fruit?

What is says in the Supplement Facts is Tart Cherry (Prunus cerasus) (fruit concentrate) 12000 mg. (Providing 10 mg (0.8%) Anthocyanins). You would get a more direct answer inquiring at www.natureslife.com or 800-247-6997 as printed on the bottle.

There is no sugar in this that I can see on the label. Sweetness comes from fruits in it?

It is sweetened with natural juices and sucralose. This according to the label.

One serving has 7 grams of sugar in the form of 100% crystalline fructose, sorbitol and apple juice concentrate. Fructose is bad, for sure, but it is a nominal amount. It really doesn't help make the stuff taste better so I don't know why they bother.

It lists sugar, fruit juices from concentrate, 52%, including 37% peach, 15% lemon; acidifying citric acid, flavourings, colourings; elderberry juice from concentrate, lutein (tagete extract). No preservatives. I hope that helps.

I imagine the fructose is in several of the natural ingredients. It was not an additional additive, but contained something like say the cranberries, therefore, it had to be listed.

It contains 2 gms of sugar per serving. No added sugar. I am guessing the 2 gms comes from the various forms of berry extracts that make this product.

Other than organic elderberries the sweeteners are different. This one is sweetened with fructose and the organic one is sweetened with organic agave. The non-organic version also has 239 MG of a proprietary blend that is not listed on the organic box. My son prefers the non-organic version while my daughter prefers the taste of the organic one. Ingredients in this one list - Fructose, Purified Water, Vegetable-source glycerin, Natural Raspberry flavor, citric acid. Ingredients in organic version - Organic Agave, Purified Water, Citric Acid, Organic Raspberry flavor

I just read the ingredient list. The last ingredient is sugar.. But it says it only has 7 grams of sugar over all. And considering its a fruit reduction.. That still seems low.

Your concern is also a concern for my husband and I. The list of ingredients show all natural flavors, no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives, no yeast, wheat grain, milk, lactose or dairy products. Other ingredients: 100% Pure crystalline fructose and Luo han guo extract (whatever that is). We feel good as we start our day off, every day, with an ALIVE Ultra-Shake.

It has stevia and fructooliogosaccharises which I think is a fruit sugar. A protein blend of obsolete and concentrate. Cocoa and xanthan gum

I am sorry, but I do not know. I bought this product about 6-8 months ago and I finished it. I do not have the bottle to anymore to answer your question. But I can say it is a great product and tastes wonderfully. It has all natural fruit ingredients. I absolutely loved it.

The answer from empirical labs was, "The sweeteners are natural fruit and berry extracts which contain no alcohol, no sugar alcohols, nothing synthetic, no MSG."

The info from the company says the whole fruit is used. In fact that is one of their ad points, they use the whole fruit because the rind is loaded with vitamins. As a long time consumer of the product I can tell you I have never experienced anything that would even be closed to the pulp in orange juice.

It is fructose.....but they have a sugarfree option. It's not too sweet to me and I only mix mine with water.

No added sugar or corn syrup, but it IS concentrated fruit juice - thus is has naturally occurring sugar (15 grams per 2 tablespoons of concentrate).
