Original Build Muscle

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Original Build Muscle scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose And Red 3): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Concentrate, Pea Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Cellulose Gel, Gellan Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Sports & Energy Drinks, this product is more processed than about 62% of the 922 products we've analyzed.
