It contains 30 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has no antinutrients like peas, lentils, or potatoes (which is great, because these ingredients may interfere the absorption of vital nutrients), and it has 6 other sketchy ingredients, including Natural Flavors and Dried Plain Beet Pulp.
