Why We Said “No” to Maltitol (and What We Use Instead)
Educating on sugar alcohols, digestive comfort, and how AtLast! does sweetness smarter.
The Truth About Sugar Alcohols
If you’ve ever felt stomach discomfort after a “sugar-free” snack, you’re not alone. Many low-sugar or keto-friendly products rely on maltitol, a sugar alcohol that can be sweet but sneaky for digestion.
At AtLast! Nutrition, we took a different path: create a bar that tastes amazing without the bloating or digestive side effects some people experience with maltitol.
What Exactly Is Maltitol?
Maltitol is a sugar alcohol (polyol) made from maltose. Because it’s only partially absorbed, it has fewer calories than sugar—but that partial absorption can mean gas, bloating, and discomfort for sensitive individuals. Not exactly the feeling you want after a workout or mid-day snack.
Why AtLast! Protein Bars Said “No” to Maltitol
- Digestive comfort matters. Maltitol can ferment in the gut. We formulated for a clean, comfortable experience you can enjoy daily.
- Clean label, honest ingredients. No confusing sugar alcohol blends. Transparency is our baseline.
- Better taste, naturally. We designed a sweetener system that delivers indulgent flavor—without the “cooling” aftertaste or digestive drama.
What We Use Instead in AtLast! Protein Bars
We use a balanced blend of natural sweeteners to deliver sweetness without the typical sugar alcohol side effects:
- Erythritol — Known for clean taste and excellent digestive tolerance.
- Fiber-based sweeteners — Soluble fibers that contribute mild sweetness, prebiotic benefits, and a satisfying chew.
Together, they create the signature AtLast! profile—balanced, craveable, and gentle on your gut.
