Dymatize ISO100 Hydrolyzed Whey Protein
At a glance
Summary
Dymatize ISO100 Hydrolyzed Whey Protein scores 29/100. While the protein source itself is premium — hydrolyzed whey isolate delivering 25g protein from just 110 calories — the surrounding ingredient profile is among the worst in the category. The "Edible Glitter" contains 4 artificial dyes (FD&C #3, Red #40, Blue #1, Yellow #5), all petroleum-derived and linked to hyperactivity, allergic reactions, and potential carcinogenicity. Add sucralose, artificial flavors, soy lecithin, and gum arabic, and this is an ultra-processed product masquerading behind a strong protein label.
Key ingredients 12
FD&C #3Very Bad
Artificial dye (Erythrosine) linked to thyroid tumors in animal studies. Banned in some applications by the FDA.
