Fat sources in Huel Black Edition Powder

  • Cold-pressed rapeseed oil — provides omega-3 (ALA) and omega-6 (LA) fatty acids, supporting heart health and reducing inflammation

  • Flaxseed — additional source of omega-3 ALA and dietary fiber, supporting cardiovascular and digestive health

  • Sunflower lecithin — provides omega-6 LA and acts as a natural emulsifier to keep ingredients well-mixed and smooth

  • MCTs (Medium-Chain Triglycerides) from coconut — fast-acting fats that provide quick energy and are metabolized differently than longer-chain fats
