This person lives on Huel and has regular blood tests and posted their experience. [I developed folate deficiency (V2.3 contains more folate than in April 2017)](https://discuss.huel.com/t/i-developed-folate-deficiency/6181)

On the website there are also 1 month clinical trials funded and ran by Huel. That’s all I’m aware of.
