Decode Label Safety Score
How we got 4.5 ShowHide
Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This supplement provides Vitamin C and Zinc, which are beneficial for immune function. However, it contains the artificial sweetener sucralose and the artificial colour Sunset Yellow FCF (INS 110). Sunset Yellow FCF is associated with hyperactivity in children, as noted by EU Regulation 1333/2008 Annex V, making this product less suitable for young children. While sucralose is permitted, long-term effects of regular use are still under research. Individuals sensitive to artificial colours or those seeking to avoid artificial sweeteners should exercise caution.

Contains artificial colour (Sunset Yellow FCF) linked to hyperactivity in children
Nature Identical Flavour (Orange) — a flavouring blend. Flavour substances are FSSAI/JECFA-evaluated, and labelling rules permit them to be declared by category ("natural", "nature identical", "artificial") rather than by individual compound — so the specific substances used are usually not disclosed. That means someone avoiding artificial flavourings, or with a known sensitivity, cannot verify what is in it. Noted as a moderate, transparency-level concern rather than a hazard.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
