Cabruary Bourn Vita — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Cabruary Bourn Vita by Cabruary ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

A malted 'health drink' that's basically a sugar-and-refined-carb stack. Sugar, liquid glucose, caramel and maltodextrin pile on top of malt extract, then a few vitamins get sprinkled in so it can be sold as nutrition.

Why this verdict

• Roughly half sugar by weight once sugar, liquid glucose, caramel and malt sugars are counted
• Four-plus refined-carb sources stacked: sugar, liquid glucose, maltodextrin, caramel
• Maltodextrin and two emulsifiers (322, 471) confirm heavily engineered NOVA-4 processing
• Vitamins are a token sprinkle used to market a sugar powder as a 'health drink'

Ingredients (12)

• Malt Extract (51%) (moderate) — Carbohydrate-rich malt syrup; high glycemic and mostly sugars despite the wholesome name.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• Cocoa Solids (safe) — Provides chocolate flavor and some antioxidants.
• Caramel (moderate) — Burnt-sugar coloring/flavor; another sugar-derived additive.
• Liquid glucose (moderate) — A simple syrup adding sweetness and texture.
• Protein Isolate (moderate) — Isolated protein used to bump the 'protein' marketing; minor benefit at this dose.
• Maltodextrin (moderate) — Highly processed starch-derived carbohydrate used as a carrier and texturizer; spikes blood sugar readily.
• Milk Solids (safe) — Curdled dairy solids — the protein, fat, and calcium of milk. Whole-food base with no processing tricks.
• vitamins (safe) — Added vitamins (D, B2, B12, folate) that anchor the immunity/brain claims.
• Emulsifier (322, 471) (moderate) — Lecithin and mono/diglycerides — processing aids that smooth the powder; stacked emulsifiers signal engineering.
• Minerals (safe) — Fortified mineral blend for nutritional completeness.
• Edible Salt (safe) — Used for flavor balance in small amounts.
