What are the fats in Huel Powder and why are they included?

Huel Powder fats come from flaxseed (omega-3 ALA), sunflower oil (omega-6 LA), and MCT oil from coconut — all essential fatty acids chosen for function, not filler.

The fats in Huel Powder are carefully chosen for nutritional function — every source earns its place.

Fat sources and why they matter

Flaxseed provides omega-3 ALA — an essential fatty acid your body can't produce on its own, important for heart and brain health.

Sunflower oil powder delivers omega-6 LA, the complementary essential fatty acid, in a carefully balanced ratio alongside omega-3.

MCT oil (from coconut) provides medium-chain triglycerides — fats that are rapidly converted to energy, making them a clean, fast fuel source that works particularly well on busy or active days.

Together, these fats provide the essential fatty acids your body needs while supporting sustained energy throughout the day.
