Ok so I also experienced severe vomiting the last day, about an hour after consuming daily greens.
Having read this forum a few prefaces:
Of course I canāt āproveā categorically that it was the fault of daily greens or know with certainty that it caused me to feel unwell
Iāve used it the last two weeks on and off. Sometimes on consecutive days and sometimes on alternate days depending on my needs. I didnāt feel unwell on those occasions. I think a food allergy is unlikely.
I hadnāt consumed any other supplements or consumed other Huel products
In my case Iād eaten some cereal around the same time with oat milk and had some toast. I then went on a video call for about an hour and suddenly had a wave of nausea come over me. It felt weird as I havenāt felt like that or vomited in over 8 years. Iām in good health, Iām young and of reasonable fitness level. I have no known food allergies.
The symptoms first occurred about an hour after taking daily greens. Within ten minutes of the onset of nausea, I knew I was going to be sick. It was just inevitable. When I chucked it was bright green which is perhaps unsurprising.
I absolutely canāt rule out that it was something else that caused it. But having done some lurking in other forums and Reddit, it does seem like there are several similar experiences. It could be purely coincidental 100%. Perhaps it was something else that I ate. Iām not sure I would risk taking it again just in case. There are other reported cases where repeated use has yielded the same result. Iām not going to test that theory.
So again, this post isnāt intended to be accusatory or to state that the product is faulty. But it would be remiss not to share my experience. Just incase.
Iāve been using huel black for years, instant meals and bars too. Iāll continue to use those but Iām going to give this one a miss as I having caring responsibilities and canāt take the risk of being unwell. I hope that Huel do at the very least note the feedback. Even if there is a 0.1% chance of an issue, food safety is extremely serious business and shouldnāt be dismissed or swept aside as āsomebody just googling symptomsā.
All this talk of violent reactions to Daily Greens makes me think it must be really potent. Iāve had nausea after eating nutrient-boosting foods in the past, beetroot smoothies come to mind. Maybe people with sensitive stomachs might want to introduce DG gradually, give their systems a little time to adapt.
See, thatās how you write a well balanced post, āseveral similar experiencesā, not āHundreds of othersā and āstop selling itā and āwrite a public apologyā.
But itās not really a āfood safetyā issue is it?
No matter if there are a number of people who canāt tolerate it, it doesnāt make it an unsafe product. There are legal safeguards against unsafe products, and Daily Greens will have been tested and shown to be safe.
Possibly not. It may just be a case of as you say, intolerance. I suspect thatās even likely what the situation is for me. I say that because after I vomited, I felt a little under the weather for a couple of hours and was able to sleep it off. A genuine case of food poisoning lasts for a day or two. As does gastroenteritis.
How I felt passed pretty quickly which is why I am leaning more into thinking daily greens was the cause in my case. As what occurred was about an hour after consumption and the feeling of being unwell passed way quicker than if something more sinister was the culprit.
If itās just a simple intolerance or my stomach being overwhelmed, thatās one thing. In which case perhaps Huel could consider advising that introducing daily greens slowly may be recommended. I donāt usually have a sensitive stomach. I can eat just about anything including spicy food. But I guess daily greens has lots of ingredient and as folks have pointed out is quite potent.
Is this a food safety issue? Highly unlikely Iād imagine. Still I think highlighting experiences like this is useful to help people make their own informed choices. And to hopefully lead to a better product or usage guidance.
Oh this just isnāt good to read. Sorry, your experience has been the same and also this is your first post here as well. Sorry itās a negative one
Iāve tried to get your email of discourse but sadly its not there! Can you drop us an email to team@huel.com and in the subject heading put āFAO Nutritionā and this will get picked up by our team and theyāll be able to help. Theyāve had the heads up so will pick this up as soon as they can once its in
Maca root is something that the body doesnāt digest well or in fact can hence gelatinised maca root is recommended. Folk with sensitive stomachs and digestion have bad results when ttaking maca root. I used to take maca and had many trips to the loo because of it.
I found it absolutely disgusting. I didnt hear any reference to the fact that it is only available sweetened with stevia. I really hate stevia. Even a small amount of greens mixed in with regular UU Huel made it horrible.
They wonāt listen Iām afraid. Once upon a time they may have but unfortunately @Huelio_Iglesias2 ruined it by doing the same every month for UK. They launched it here just for him.and he suddenly shut up about it and didnāt bother.
Iāve been a HUEL user for years now and proudly wear my 1000 meal T shirt to the gym. Was excited to see Daily Greens come to the UK as involved in the Mountain Bike world and am bombarded with AG1 ads. Ordered it the day it came out but every time I drink it, I get nausea, not sick but feels like I am pregnant again and am certainly not! Iāve tried different water amounts, necking it, sipping it over an hour but itās more than a coincidence now. Googled it and found a few comments on Reddit and now here. Just feedback as I really like the idea of it. On the positive it does seem to zen me out. Coming out of divorce and stress has been high so was pleased to feel this but nausea bounces in afterwards.
Having had an adverse reaction myself, led me to here.
Took Daily Greens for 2 weeks without issue, didnāt take to the taste, but certainly manageable. Took a weekend off as travelling, returned to the greens upon my return and was hit with a very severe bout of sickness and diarrhea. I initially put this down to something dodgy Iād maybe eaten, i took a break from Greens for a couple of days whilst I was recovering. The day of returning to the greens again, I had severe diarrhea and nausea.
I too found similar comments, albeit from one source, with others who seemingly had very similar experiences. Not here to bash Huel in any way, but sharing my experience may help others take solace if experiencing the same reaction.
Worth mentioning that this is my first delve into green shakes, maybe an intolerance or an overload.
Firstly, sorry to hear this.
Can you get in touch with our customer experience team, team@huel.com so they can ask you some questions about this experience?
Would you be able to include the batch information (lot number, expiry date, and time stamp, if available)
Sorry to hear this, as above please can you get in touch with our customer experience team, team@huel.com so they can ask you some questions about this experience?

Iāve persevered now and itās all fine, guess body just adapting even though Iāve been a daily Huel black user for years. Will continue as feeling other benefits
