Start with the ingredient list
A pre workout without sucralose is a reasonable preference if you dislike its taste or want a different sweetener. Look for the word “sucralose” in the complete ingredients, including the “Other Ingredients” section beneath Supplement Facts. A sugar-free claim does not answer this question: a product can contain no sugar and still use sucralose.
Check the exact flavor and package you intend to buy. Product names, front-label slogans and older retailer photographs can leave out details that matter. If the online ingredients are incomplete, ask the manufacturer for the current label before ordering.
One option to investigate
Legion Pulse is a relevant example because its manufacturer says the formula uses sweeteners such as stevia and contains no artificial sweeteners. The company also warns that other ingredients vary by flavor; some flavors include a milk-derived creamer. Treat that as a reason to inspect your selected flavor, especially if you have an allergy.
The caffeinated version lists 175 mg caffeine per scoop and 350 mg per full two-scoop serving. Avoid assuming that a naturally sweetened powder is mild. Legion also sells a separate caffeine-free Pulse Stim-Free formula; compare its own label rather than transferring details between products.
Keep the sweetener decision separate
Sucralose-free does not establish that a supplement works better or is safer overall. The FDA permits sucralose under specified conditions of use. Choosing an alternative is different from demonstrating that the original ingredient is harmful at normal permitted exposure.
Build a shortlist using four questions: Does the selected flavor meet your sweetener preference? Is every active amount disclosed? Does its caffeine fit your routine? Can you identify the seller and obtain a readable label?
Compare value before buying
Calculate cost using the serving you would actually take. A tub advertised as forty scoops might provide only twenty full servings. Check whether a displayed discount requires a subscription, and compare shipping and return terms before committing.
If you simply want an unsweetened drink before training, plain coffee or tea may fit your taste. Their caffeine can vary, so they still deserve a separate caffeine check. Water is an option when you do not want caffeine or sweeteners.
