Common questions

Is KOS Tropical Hydration Protein healthy?

KOS Tropical Hydration Protein scores 71/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in KOS Tropical Hydration Protein?

KOS Tropical Hydration Protein lists 8 ingredients, starting with Sea Salt, Ascorbic Acid, Zinc Gluconate, Barley Rice Protein and Citric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does KOS Tropical Hydration Protein contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in KOS Tropical Hydration Protein’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
