• Immune Health
• Skin, Hair and Nails
• Cognitive Function
• Muscle Function

Even though quality sleep, regular exercise, and avoiding too many stimulants such as caffeine are key to keeping energy levels in check, a well-balanced diet is a crucial part of the puzzle. Huel Daily Superblend is a source of several key nutrients that are crucial to energy metabolism.

Biotin

Supports macronutrient metabolism.

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, plays a crucial role in supporting macronutrient metabolism, specifically of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Biotin helps to break down each macronutrient into its subcomponents by activating particular enzymes involved in the process. For example, breaking down carbohydrates into glucose that can then be used as a primary source of energy by the body.

Each Huel Daily Superblend serving is high in biotin and provides 43%* of the recommended daily intake of biotin.

Vitamin B12

Helps convert food into energy.

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, plays a crucial role in the process of converting food into energy through its involvement in the metabolism of macronutrients, particularly proteins and fats. Plant-based diets are typically low in vitamin B12 and a deficiency in this key nutrient can lead to disruptions in the mechanisms involved in energy metabolism.

As such, Huel Daily Superblend has been fortified with a vegan-friendly form of vitamin B12, cyanocobalamin, and each serving can be considered high in vitamin B12 by providing 33%* of the recommended daily intake.

Iron

Maintains healthy energy levels.

Iron is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in the formation of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that helps transport oxygen from the lungs to various tissues and organs in the body. When the body lacks sufficient iron it can lead to anaemia and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity leading to tiredness and fatigue.

In just one serving of Huel Daily Superblend, you’ll get 50%* of the recommended daily intake from the pea, faba, and hemp protein found in the plant-based protein and superfood blend.

Digestive Support

It’s no surprise that the correct functioning and health of the digestive system can be influenced by the foods we eat. Huel Daily Superblend contains key nutrients to keep your digestive system thriving.

Fiber

Promotes bowel regularity and feeds the gut.

Fiber plays a vital role in supporting healthy digestion through various mechanisms. It adds bulk to stools, facilitating softening and preventing constipation, ultimately easing the passage of stool through the digestive tract. Additionally, fiber contributes to the regulation of bowel movements.

What’s more, various fibers, including inulin which is included in Huel Daily Superblend, have been found to stimulate the beneficial bacteria found in the gut [1]. When these pre-biotic fibers are broken down by the gut bacteria, byproducts called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are produced which can improve gastrointestinal health [2].

Every serving of Huel Daily Superblend is high in fiber and provides over 20%* of the recommended daily intake.

Probiotics

Gut friendly bacteria.

Plant-based diets have been found to have beneficial effects on the gut microbiome by increasing the diversity of health-promoting bacteria [3, 4, 5], which, in turn, can have positive effects on various aspects of health [6, 7, 8].

Probiotics, which are naturally occurring beneficial bacteria in our bodies, can also be taken in supplement form. Huel Daily Superblend contains two types of probiotics, Bacillus Coagulans MTCC 5856 and Bifidobacterium Bifidum.

Calcium

Proper function of digestive enzymes.

Calcium plays a lesser-known role in supporting digestive enzymes, serving as a co-factor. It is essential for the efficient functioning of key digestive enzymes, ensuring effective breakdown and absorption of nutrients in the digestive process. Without it, these enzymes may not work efficiently.

Each serving of Huel Daily Superblend provides 20%* of the recommended daily intake of calcium.

Immune Health

Nourishing your body with the right nutrients is essential in supporting a resilient immune system. Huel Daily Superblend is formulated with key nutrients to fortify your body's defenses, promoting optimal immune health.

Vitamin C

A versatile immune supporter.

Vitamin C is an all-rounder when it comes to immune support. It acts as a powerful antioxidant to neutralize free radicals, supports white blood cell function, and aids the generation of antibodies, both key elements in the immune response to pathogens. Vitamin C also aids in the synthesis of collagen, maintaining the integrity of the skin, which is a first line of defense against pathogens entering the body.

The majority of the vitamin C in Huel Daily Superblend comes from superfruit and antioxidant greens blends. Each serving of Huel Daily Superblend provides 90%* of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.

Vitamin D

Supports the function of immune cells.

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in promoting immune health through multiple mechanisms. It regulates the function of various immune cells responsible for identifying and combating pathogens like bacteria and viruses. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory properties contribute to the control and reduction of chronic inflammation, preventing potential harm.

Ensuring an adequate intake of vitamin D is especially crucial during the winter months when sunlight exposure is limited, as vitamin D is primarily synthesized in the skin through sunlight exposure.

Each serving of Huel Daily Superblend provides 15%* of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D.

Skin, Hair and Nails

Investing in pricey skincare products might not be the only secret to radiant skin, strong nails, and lustrous hair. Instead, prioritize nourishing your body from the inside out. Huel Daily Superblend offers a comprehensive blend of essential nutrients specifically designed to fortify your skin, nails, and hair.

Protein

Building blocks for collagen, elastin, and keratin.

Protein is a fundamental component that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the skin, hair, and nails. The skin consists of two structural proteins, collagen, and elastin, while your hair and nails are primarily made up of the protein keratin. Adequate protein intake supports the synthesis of collagen which helps with skin elasticity, and keratin which contributes to the strength and resilience of hair and nails. Proteins are also essential for the repair and renewal of cells throughout the body including skin cells, crucial for wound healing and general skin health maintenance.

Huel Daily Superblend is high in protein with 25g in every serving from the three plant-based protein sources, pea, faba, and hemp seed protein.

Zinc

For healthy skin, hair and nails.

Zinc, a vital mineral, aids in maintaining skin health by facilitating effective wound healing and reinforcing the integrity of the skin barrier. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties contribute to alleviating skin irritation and redness linked to specific skin conditions. Zinc plays a crucial role in keratin synthesis, the primary protein constituting hair, and is instrumental in the proper development of nail cells, fostering the creation of the nail plate.

Huel Daily Superblend is high in zinc and each serving provides 33%* of the daily recommended intake.

Vitamin C

For collagen production.

Vitamin C plays a vital role in the enzymatic reactions that convert amino acids, the building blocks of protein, into collagen, a structural protein that provides strength and structure to the skin. Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin from free-radical damage.

The majority of the vitamin C in Huel Daily Superblend comes from superfruit and antioxidant greens blends. Each serving of Huel Daily Superblend provides 90%* of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.

Vitamin A

Supports healthy skin.

Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient crucial for promoting the healthy growth and differentiation of skin cells, touted to help maintain skin texture, prevent dryness, and regulate the natural skin oil (sebum) important for maintaining skin hydration. It is also an integral part of the wound-healing process.

One of its active forms, retinol, is becoming a popular ingredient to use in skincare products because of its believed effectiveness in promoting skin renewal. In Huel Daily Superblend we use a food-stable source, retinyl acetate. Every serving of Huel Daily Superblend contains 17%* of the recommended daily intake of vitamin A.

Cognitive Function

A well-balanced diet not only fuels the body but also plays a crucial role in supporting cognitive function and overall brain health. Huel Daily Superblend contains key nutrients that play crucial roles in supporting healthy brain function.

Vitamin B6

Supports the synthesis of neurotransmitters.

Vitamin B6, otherwise known as pyridoxine, is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) [9]. These neurotransmitters play key roles in mood regulation, stress response, and overall cognitive function [10]. B6 is essential for the conversion of tryptophan (an amino acid) into serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood stabilization and emotional well-being [10].

Every serving of Huel Daily Superblend provides 18%* of the recommended daily intake of vitamin B6.

Vitamin B12

Helps support healthy brain function.

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the development and function of the central nervous system, the synthesis of neurotransmitters, and can support brain function through various mechanisms [11]. Vitamin B12 is crucial for the formation of methionine, which is involved in many processes relating to brain function [12].

Every serving of Huel Daily Superblend provides 33%* of the recommended daily intake of vitamin B12.

Iron

Contributes to brain health.

Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen to the cells. Inadequate dietary iron intake can lead to reduced oxygen transport, which could have an impact on cognitive function. The symptoms of cognitive deficiency observed in cases of iron-deficient anemia encompass deficits in attention, perceptual-motor speed, memory, and verbal fluency [13].

The majority of the iron in Huel Daily Superblend comes from the pea protein and each serving provides 50%* of the recommended daily intake of iron.

Muscle Function

Muscle function quietly plays a key role in our overall health, subtly influencing our daily routines. While it's the unsung hero of movement and strength, it also does a low-key job at maintaining our balance, stability, and coordination. It's like the reliable friend who keeps things steady behind the scenes, ensuring we navigate our days with ease. Huel Daily Superblend contains key nutrients that support muscle function.

Protein

Supports the maintenance and growth of muscle mass.

Protein plays a fundamental role in muscle function through various mechanisms such as providing the structure to muscle tissue, allowing them to contract and generate force. Protein is also vital for the repair and growth of muscle tissue that can become damaged, particularly after strenuous resistance exercise. When protein is consumed, the body breaks it down into amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins used to repair and build new tissue.

Huel Daily Superblend is high in protein providing 25g per serve.

Magnesium

Supports muscle function.

Magnesium is a vital mineral that plays a significant role in supporting muscle function in several ways including regulating muscle contractions, a cofactor of enzymes involved in protein synthesis [14].

A dietary survey found that 48% of Americans ingest less magnesium from food and beverages compared to their respective Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) [15]. Every serving of Huel Daily Superblend contains 22%* of the recommended daily intake for magnesium.

Calcium

Aids muscle contractions.

Calcium forms a significant part of the structural composition of bones, enabling regular bodily movement by maintaining tissues in a rigid, robust, and flexible state [16]. Calcium also plays a crucial role in supporting muscle function by initiating muscle contractions and facilitating the interaction between actin and myosin, the two major proteins involved in muscle contraction.

Each serving of Huel Daily Superblend provides 20%* of the recommended daily intake of calcium.
