Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, The Recovery Drink scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Sugar Alcohols (Natural Erythritol (Natural Sweetener)): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Blend (Bromelain, Lipase, Amylase, Protease 4.5, Invertase, Beta-Glucanase, Serrazimes)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Sports & Energy Drinks, this product is more processed than about 26% of the 922 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
