Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the ‘Liquid IV Lemon Ginger Energy Multiplier’ falls short of the clean and healthy standards set by our website. The product is not organic and includes multiple ingredients that reduce its score significantly, reflecting a less desirable choice for those seeking pure and wholesome food options.
The product’s formulation includes both pure cane sugar and dextrose anhydrous, which are considerable sources of added sugars. These contribute negatively to the health profile of the beverage, prompting a substantial deduction in its rating. Moreover, the inclusion of citric acid, while common in many foods and beverages, is counted here as an added sugar due to its processed nature and potential to contribute to the overall sugar content.
The presence of natural flavors and silicon dioxide in the ingredient list contributes to the deduction of points. Natural flavors are often a grey area in food labeling, lacking transparency regarding their exact composition. Silicon dioxide, commonly used as an anti-caking agent, is viewed as a potentially harmful additive in the context of this review.
Stevia leaf extract, a natural sweetener, is included in the product’s ingredients. While it is a non-nutritive sweetener and may be considered a better alternative to artificial sweeteners or high-calorie sugars, it still leads to a reduction in points due to its processed nature.
The energy multiplier does utilize non-GMO ingredients, which is a positive aspect; however, this is overshadowed by the other components that detract from the product’s overall healthfulness.
The product’s reliance on processed ingredients and additives, coupled with its non-organic status, positions it as a less than optimal choice for consumers looking for clean and healthy food options. While it may provide a quick source of energy, the quality of its ingredients does not align with the high standards of our green leaf rating system. Cleaner alternatives with fewer additives, organic ingredients, and no added sugars would be more in line with the expectations of health-conscious consumers.
