Can I have Huel if I have histamine intolerance?

Huel may be suitable for 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, except in coffee-based flavors

  • Huel uses pea protein isolate, which removes most histamine-related compounds found in whole peas

  • Some Huel ingredients may act as histamine liberators or DAO (diamine oxidase) enzyme blockers, which could trigger symptoms in sensitive individuals

Our recommendation

  • Avoid coffee-based flavors if you are highly sensitive to histamine

  • Carefully check the ingredients list for each Huel product before consuming

  • Consult your doctor or allergist before adding Huel to your diet
