tl;dr: 98% ingredients are goyslop trifecta soy, corn syrup, seed oils. Remaining 2% are vitamins and amino acids that raw milks would have provided.

There were a few ingredients which are used in animal feeds to accelerate growth. There seems to be many compounds like this and wonder how it adds to obesity issues.

Also some oils and fatty acids which were being produced commercially by single-celled algaes, with patents owned by Wuhan labs and Cargill.


42.6% Corn Syrup Solids

14.7% Soy Protein Isolate

11.5% High Oleic Safflower Oil (seed oil)

10.1% Sugar

7.8% Coconut oil

2.4% Calcium Phosphate (calcium source)

Together with Schizochytrium are major commercial source of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) Omega-3 fatty acid and PUFAs by Martek Biosciences

M. Alpina Oil. Mortierella alpina Oil

soil fungi, produces arachidonic acid, a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid.

Patent held by Wuhan Alking Bioengineering Co., Ltd., now a joint venture with Cargil Ltd.,
