Artificial flavors are synthetic compounds used to mimic the taste or aroma of natural ingredients. In medications, they are commonly added to improve palatability—especially in chewable, liquid, or dissolvable forms.

These flavors may be derived from petrochemicals or other synthetic sources. Some people choose to avoid artificial flavors due to concerns about long-term exposure to certain compounds, potential allergic reactions, or because they wish to minimize consumption of synthetic additives as part of a wellness or elimination protocol.

Why We Use a Blanket Filter

Rather than allow users to toggle specific flavoring compounds, we apply a single filter that flags any presence of synthetic or imitation flavoring. This helps simplify your decision-making process and ensures you are only seeing options that meet your overall preference to avoid artificial flavors entirely.
