Top ingredient is grain, which could vary.

What this means

  1. Formula K provides lots of complex carbohydrates, in wholegrain form. They break down slowly, providing a steady stream of energy over a long period
  2. As a low GI diet, Formula K releases sugar into the blood slowly, providing a steady supply of energy.
  3. By adding the amino acids taurine and l-carnitine, we increase the metabolic rate and increase the speed at which fat cells are broken down.
  4. We have chosen our ingredients specifically with fewer calories; for example brown rice, the purest and best form of carbohydrate which provides energy.
