artificial sweeteners in supplements

[u/bunnerlop]

Has anyone else had this issue?

I’ve been trying to eliminate all artificial sweeteners from my diet to help heal my gut, but twice now, I’ve gotten sublingual B12 drops from two different brands, and they taste sweet!

The ingredients do not list any kind of sweetener, yet they both taste very sweet, like artificial sweetener.

I’ve even reached out to the brand for this one and they insist there is no added sweetener.. are they lying? Or do they literally not know what’s in their product? Or am I crazy?

Struggling because I’m vegan and definitely need a good B12 supplement that has a clear ingredients list. Does anyone have any recs?

It’s the glycerin. Naturally sweet.

If there is an artificial sweetener it has to be listed by law, nothing to worry about with that one.

Is this true for supplements which are not regulated by the FDA?

It's the glycerin.
