Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
This product receives a 2/5 green leaves rating on our scale, reflecting its position towards the lower end of our health and cleanliness spectrum. The ‘Garden of Life – Protein section Dr. Formulated Keto Fit Weight Loss Shake Vanilla’ positions itself as a keto-friendly weight loss supplement. However, our assessment raises concerns about its ingredient quality and overall healthfulness.
The product avoids the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), a positive aspect that aligns with cleaner food standards. Nevertheless, the absence of organic certification results in a deduction, as the presence of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers in non-organic items can potentially compromise consumer health and environmental sustainability.
Stevia, a non-nutritive sweetener, contributes to the product’s lower score due to our stance on added sugars, regardless of their caloric value. While Stevia is a common sugar alternative, the policy on our website penalizes any form of added sweeteners. Additionally, the inclusion of ‘Organic Vanilla Flavors’ leads to a significant score reduction. The term ‘flavors’ can often be a placeholder for a variety of undisclosed compounds, which raises transparency concerns and may introduce unwanted chemicals into the diet.
Other components, such as the Weight Loss Blend, which includes Organic Svetol and Organic Ashwagandha, and the presence of Lactobacillus plantarum, a probiotic, do not affect the score but are worth noting for their intended health benefits.
The product’s formulation with ingredients like Organic Grass Fed Butter Powder and Truly Grass Fed Whey Protein Isolate targets those following a ketogenic diet, aiming to support weight loss while providing a high-protein nutritional profile. However, the product’s overall score reflects the need for improvement in ingredient transparency and organic practices.
Consumers seeking cleaner and more healthful food options may find this product falls short of expectations. The score given indicates that the product has room for enhancement, particularly in terms of organic certification and the use of added sweeteners and flavors. Those prioritizing the cleanest ingredients in their dietary choices will likely seek alternatives that better align with stringent health and environmental standards.
