It's still not on their labels, either. I only just saw this whole controversy last night.

So many suppliers in the supplement industry are entirely unaware of carriers that go into certain ingredients, often times it is purely ignorance.

When called & asked it appears that the company would share that there is some maltodextrin which they claim falls under "natural flavors."

😂

That tells me they are full of shit.

If it's in the product, it needs to be listed on the facts panel either as an active ingredient or as part of the 'other ingredients'. Maltodextrin is processed enough to not qualify as a natural flavour. It's a cop-out. But this tends to be most of this industry.

But all along the supply chain it's basically obfuscation and ignorance, if not outright deceit.

Don't buy anything with Natural Flavors.

Can you guys link me more info?

Uh, I'm not sure this is readily discussed anywhere other than social media. Most companies are very litigious, so I would have to be open to dealing with that kind of shit if I was to publish something like this in a more official capacity.

What specific information are you looking for?

Just the chatter you were seeing

I will add that I have run a supplement company for the last 15 years. Small, but I have learned more than enough about this industry. Behind closed doors, most companies are not testing things, not properly disclosing things, and/or just outright lying about what they are selling.
