Why is Organic Protein classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines multiple isolated plant proteins, a blended superfood mix, sweeteners and several texture‑enhancing agents; additives such as erythritol, acacia gum, guar gum, xanthan gum, stevia and natural flavorings push it into the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the salt content in Organic Protein affect a hypertensive diet?

At 1.9 g of salt per 100 g, the shake exceeds the average beverage salt level and can contribute noticeably to daily sodium intake, which may raise blood pressure for people on a low‑sodium or hypertension‑managed diet.

Is Organic Protein suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto lifestyles?

The formula is fully vegan and certified gluten‑free, but its carbohydrate load of 39 g per 100 g makes it unsuitable for a strict keto diet, which typically limits carbs to 5–10 g per day.

Product Insights

Organic Protein is a plant‑based, vegan protein shake marketed as a bodybuilding beverage and falls within the "Beverages" and "Artificially sweetened beverages" categories. Per 100 g it delivers 41 g of protein, 8.8 g of fat, 1.9 g of salt and 15.7 g of fiber while keeping sugars low at 2 g, but its NOVA 4 rating flags it as an ultra‑processed product with a high fat and salt load. The formula is certified gluten‑free, kosher and vegan, yet it contains erythritol, several thickening gums (acacia, guar, xanthan), stevia and a listed celery allergen, which may be concerns for sensitive consumers.
