Ozempic users consume unhealthy, sugary protein shakes

Fairlife's Core Power protein shakes have been labeled the unhealthiest bottled beverage in the US, despite their popularity among fitness enthusiasts and Ozempic users. This is due to concerns about ingredients and their potential impact on metabolic health. The shakes, marketed as a convenient protein source, contain high protein levels but also include non-organic dairy, artificial sweeteners, and "natural flavors" with undisclosed additives. Experts warn these ingredients can disrupt gut health and may have other negative health effects. Sales of protein drinks have surged, driven by Ozempic users seeking to maintain muscle mass. However, some experts caution against excessive protein intake, especially from processed sources, due to potential health risks.
