Amazing
Huel, Whole Fuel and Dolly the sheep
identical clones.

Here are just a few of the differences


  1. Contains fluoride (looks like they copied our formula at the wrong time)
  2. Yes rice syrup is basically sugar - and is known to contain arsenic - https://authoritynutrition.com/brown-rice-syrup-good-or-bad/
  3. Their manganese suspiciously low considering it’s 41% oats, plus they add extra manganese in the vit blend
  4. 400%+ more sugar than Huel
  5. No MCTs
  6. Unlikely that their omega 3 to 6 ratio will be as good as Huel’s
  7. They don’t state the type of calcium used as their main added ingredient, only the type used as a carrier; it may not be a very bioavilable source
  8. No beneficial phytonutrients Lycopene and Lutein
  9. Low iron level - which with low levels of vitamin C and relatively high levels of calcium, could be a potential health issue, especially for women.
  10. Higher price than Huel Christmas Pudding Flavour
  11. Just says Vitamin K, Huel contains K2 & K1
  12. They use Folic Acid we use the superior L-methylfolate Calcium (1,000 times more expensive than folic acid)
  13. There are questions regarding the fatty acid profile, specifically if there is enough alpha linolenic acid (ALA) to convert to sufficient amounts of the conditionally essential fatty acids DHA and EPA. Huel does have enough - https://huel.com/pages/guide-to-epa-and-dha
  14. Doesn’t include as much vitamin C or D as Huel, and their levels are only slightly higher than the RDA; more up-to-date research suggests that the RDAs for both of these vitamins are too low which is why Huel contains higher amounts.
  15. No nutritional profiles for the different flavours
  16. “May also contain soy and egg.” their words not mine

I’m now going to close the thread. They have had enough free publicity.
