The Real Story Behind Synthetic Dyes

When public figures like RFK Jr. spotlight ingredients like Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1, it confirms a growing awareness. These additives offer no functional benefits for supporting wellness or performance.belong in your body—especially not in products meant to fuel it. These dyes were designed to make products look better on a shelf, not perform better in your system.

At NF Sports, we’ve built every supplement around a higher standard—one that never relied on synthetic colors to begin with.

Why These Ingredients Were Never Part of Our Formulas

Artificial dyes have zero relevance to performance nutrition. They don’t support recovery, stamina, or hydration—and they’ve been flagged in scientific discussions for their potential effects on sensitive individuals, particularly children.

These additives:

  • Contribute no physical or metabolic value

  • Don’t enhance taste or efficacy

  • Exist purely for visual appeal

They may catch the eye, but they do nothing for your muscles, your focus, or your goals. That’s why they’ve never been part of our process.


Where Synthetic Dyes Hide in Your Diet

You might be surprised how often these colorants show up in everyday foods—not just candy and soda. If you're serious about clean supplementation, it's worth scanning your pantry.

Common Sources of Synthetic Dyes:

  • Cereals: Especially those marketed to kids—look for Red 40 and Yellow 5

  • Sports Drinks and Sodas: Bright visuals, zero functional value

  • Snacks and Chips: Often contain dyes to simulate flavor or spice

  • Yogurts: Particularly fruit-flavored varieties

  • Ice Creams and Sweets: Novelty colors often mean synthetic agents

  • Condiments: Dressings and sauces may contain hidden dyes

  • Baked Goods: Frosting, fillings, even bread can be culprits

These dyes are added for one reason—visual marketing. They have no place in performance-focused nutrition.

While Others Pivot, We Stay the Course

As brands scramble to reformulate, we’re already ahead. At NF Sports, clean and effective formulation isn’t new—it’s our foundation.

Here’s what you’ll find in every NF Sports product:

  • Naturally derived or plant-based colors

  • No artificial sweeteners or flavors

  • No “proprietary blends”—just full transparency

  • Research-backed ingredients with clear purpose

  • Products tested and verified under our True Label Guarantee

We don’t rely on hype or trends—we rely on science and honesty.
