Fats and essential fatty acids in Huel Essential

Huel Essential uses flaxseed and sunflower oil to provide a balanced source of plant-based omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids.

Written by Jamie Forbes

Huel Essential gets its fats from two carefully chosen plant-based sources: flaxseed and sunflower oil. Together they provide the right balance of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids — the ones your body can't produce on its own.

What each source provides

  • Flaxseed — rich in ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), the plant-based omega-3. Supports heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation

  • Sunflower oil — provides linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6 fatty acid that supports cell function and healthy skin

The omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is carefully balanced. Unlike many processed foods that are high in omega-6, Huel Essential keeps the balance right so your body can make the most of both.
