What are the Health Benefits of Huel?
'Is Huel healthy?' is a question we get asked a lot – here are just a few reasons why Huel is good for you.
First things first – we know that health claims aren’t sexy or fun, but science and nutrition are at the heart of what we do at Huel, so it's pretty important that we walk the walk when it comes to talking about how healthy Huel is.
Each of the vitamins, minerals and nutrients in every Huel meal has a role to play in helping your body run smoothly. Each one of these health benefits – and they vary between all the different Huel products – has been scientifically backed and EU-approved, and we've broken them all down so you don't have to.
The nutritionals and thereby the number of health claims may vary between flavours of each Huel product type.
