I suffer from histamine intolerance. Can I have Huel?

Huel and histamine intolerance — what to know before you start, and which products and flavors to avoid.

Written by Jamie Forbes

Huel may be suitable for some individuals with histamine intolerance, but suitability depends on your specific sensitivities.


What you should know:
• Huel Powders and Huel Daily Greens contain no detectable histamines, with the exception of coffee-based flavors
• Huel uses pea protein isolate, which removes most compounds — including histamine — found in whole peas
• Some Huel ingredients may act as histamine liberators or DAO (diamine oxidase) blockers, which could trigger symptoms in sensitive individuals


Our recommendation:
• Carefully review the ingredient list on any Huel product you are considering
• Avoid coffee-based flavors if you are highly sensitive to histamine
• Consult your healthcare provider or dietitian before adding Huel to your routine
