We recommend using David as a protein supplement in your diet up to 2 bars per day. David should complement a balanced diet to help you consume more protein with fewer calories. Overconsumption of bars may cause adverse GI symptoms.

We recommend consuming 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily, as this range is optimal for maintaining and growing muscle while avoiding excess body fat. Our Chief Science Officer, Peter Attia, Ph.D. notes that current research supports higher protein intake for enhanced muscle growth and overall health. This recommendation exceeds the US Recommended Dietary Allowance, which defines at least 0.4 grams per pound to meet basic nutritional needs. However, the RDA is based on nitrogen balance studies, which underestimate true protein requirements because they do not fully account for all nitrogen losses, leading to a conservative estimate.

No. With the optimal blend of protein, minimal calories, and zero sugar, David helps anyone build strength, lose fat, and be beautiful. Though, with a perfect 1.0 PDCAAS and industry-leading levels of key amino acids like leucine, David's protein system has been optimized to support muscle protein synthesis.

Our Chief Science Director, Peter Attia Ph.D., has noted that the idea of consuming too much protein has never been definitively established. While some people cite studies that cite studies that cite studies, there is no direct evidence proving this claim. There may be an upper limit of protein intake that is safe (e.g., 400 g/day, above which may overly tax the kidneys), but we do not know this for certain. As such, it is quite difficult to make the case that eating 0.8 to 1 g of protein per pound of body weight is anything but beneficial.

No, there is no change to the flavor. "Double Fudge Brownie" and "Fudge Brownie" are the same; we have just made a small adjustment to the name.

No, David is gluten-free. We test every batch of our product to ensure bars contain less than 10 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is far stricter than the FDA requirement (less than 20ppm to be considered gluten-free). This rigorous testing ensures that our products are safe for those avoiding gluten. While we do not have official gluten-free certification, our commitment to these stringent standards ensures the highest level of safety and quality.

David contains allergens of milk, soy, coconut, and eggs. Our Salted Peanut Butter and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk flavors contain peanuts. Because all of our products are made in a facility that processes peanuts, sesame, and tree nuts there is a risk of cross-contamination.

Our bars not suitable for most vegetarian or vegan diets given we use bovine collagen. David does not contain any pork products.

Please review the ingredient list and consult with your healthcare provider if you have specific allergies or dietary concerns.

David has a shelf life of 1 year. To maintain freshness and quality, store David at room temperature away from direct sunlight until the Best By date. To extend shelf life further or to maintain optimal taste and texture over time, you can refrigerate or freeze your bars. If chilled, we recommend allowing them to warm to room temperature before eating.

David contains 0g of sugar and is primarily sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame potassium, which have no calories and do not raise blood glucose levels.

Both sweeteners are FDA-approved and have undergone extensive safety studies to ensure that they have no harmful effects on humans. For acesulfame potassium, the FDA reviewed more than 90 studies, while sucralose underwent evaluation through over 110 studies. These evaluations focused on potential toxic effects, determining that there is no causation of negatives health outcomes. Human clinical trials were also reviewed to assess sucralose’s metabolism and its effects on individuals with diabetes.

Maltitol and allulose, part of the bar's binding system, also add sweetness with a fraction of the caloric impact of sugar. Furthermore, studies have show that allulose can have positive impacts on endurance and recovery.

There is no digestible seed oil in David. We do use a modified plant fat called EPG. The raw material for EPG prior to its processing is rapeseed oil. Prior to use in David, the rapeseed oil is converted from a polyunsaturated fat to a saturated fat, and then further handled to become indigestible by humans.

Some David flavors do contain palm kernel oil. This is a saturated fat that comes from the kernel of the oil palm tree. It has a similar fatty acid profile to coconut oil. Our Palm kernel oil is sourced from suppliers certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (rspo.org), which ensures that the fat is sustainably produced and contributes to the conservation of natural resources and biodiversity.

Our bars contain 2g of fiber each, so they are not high in fiber. They are designed to provide high-quality protein with minimal calories and zero sugar, focusing on supporting increased muscle, decreased fat, and beauty. While the bars are not high in fiber, the high protein and allulose (a non digestible carbohydrate) have a strong satiating effect.

While we don't make specific claims about net carbs (as it's not an FDA-regulated term), David bars are designed to maximize protein while minimizing calories and sugar. Most of the carbohydrates in our bars have a reduced calorie impact (meaning they would not be counted as full "net carbs"), and the carbohydrates in David total just 18 calories per bar.

Based on this, our bars are blood-sugar-friendly, though we recommend testing with a glucose monitor to confirm how they work for you.

No, David is not certified Kosher. Our bars include collagen derived from bovine sources and use whey protein as part of our Protein System. David does not contain any pork products.
