Thanks for the feedback; we’ve implemented these changes as positive steps listening to feedback from Huelers as well as looking at optimising the Huel formula.

There should be no issues
-
Yes – thanks for pointing that out; we’ll get it changed
-
Correct. We have better data and we’ve changed the main ingredient ratios; requirements are met naturally.

As you may know, salt intake is based on sodium content and we have to list the levels as ‘salt’. We felt the sodium level needed boosting as previously it was below the EU amount. This level of ‘salt’ reflects the inclusion of sea salt, sodium naturally occurring from the main ingredients and inclusion from the vitamin & mineral blend

We changed the source of vitamin B12 due to methylcobalamine being much preferred to cyanocobalamine. The study you reference is looking at treating deficiency; what sort of B12 deficiency? There’s also no reference as to how they came to the conclusion.
Re sodium fluoride – we felt that for Huel to be ‘nutritionally complete’, it should contain fluoride. Comments noted on the controversy about fluoride, though: we are already aware of these discussions.
@Atkobo
Not at all; despite the cost, the inclusion level is low.
@Lupacante
Sorry that you’re disappointed with this change; I actually felt this would be one of the improvements people would be most pleased about. Thanks also for your link. However, comments there are mainly anecdotal and the references cited refer only in part to forms of B12 and are referring to pernicious anaemia. Nevertheless, I do wish to read them fully and come back to you more thoroughly on this point; so please would you guys bear with me on this? It’s good to be questioned, although knowing I’m under scrutiny means I want to cover everything.
I can assure you all, though, in the meantime, that requirements are met at amounts included in Huel V2.0.
Thanks, guys for now. While I’m coming back on the B12 issues, in the meantime, are there any other queries on other aspects of Huel 2.0?
