Short answer: there's no known problem with taking shilajit and Huel on the same day. There's also no research on taking them together, so we can't say the combination does anything special. If you take medication or have a medical condition, check with your GP or pharmacist first.
What Is Shilajit?
Shilajit is a dark, sticky resin that seeps from rock in high mountain ranges, including the Himalayas. It has been used in traditional Ayurvedic practice for centuries. It is mostly organic matter, mainly fulvic acid and other humic substances, with a smaller mineral fraction.
Shilajit is sold in the UK as a food supplement. There are no authorised health claims for it, so we can't say it improves energy, focus or any other aspect of health. For what the human studies did and didn't find, see Shilajit Benefits: What Does the Research Actually Show?
What Is Huel?
Huel is a plant-based meal replacement sold as shakes, bars and hot meals. It is designed to provide protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre, vitamins and minerals in one product, and many people use it for convenience.
Can You Take Them Together?
As far as we know, there is no known interaction between shilajit and Huel. They are different kinds of product: Huel is a meal, while shilajit is taken in very small amounts (a pea-sized piece, roughly 300 to 500 mg) as a supplement.
You may see claims online that the fulvic acid in shilajit helps you absorb the nutrients in other foods. That idea comes mainly from lab and animal research and hasn't been shown in people, so don't take shilajit expecting it to change how you absorb the nutrients in Huel.
Huel already contains a full range of vitamins and minerals, and a daily serving of shilajit is too small to be a meaningful source of minerals. Our guide to the minerals in shilajit explains why.
How to Fit Shilajit Around a Huel Routine
- Dissolve a pea-sized amount or less of resin in warm water or tea. It dissolves poorly in cold liquids, so it's best not to stir it into a cold Huel shake.
- Our label suggests taking shilajit apart from food, so many people take it first thing in the morning and have their Huel later.
- Take it once a day and don't exceed the recommended daily amount.
Our How to Use Shilajit guide has step-by-step instructions.
Who Should Check With a GP First?
Speak to your GP or pharmacist before taking shilajit if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take medication or have a medical condition. If you use Huel because of a medical condition or as part of a supervised diet, check with your healthcare professional before adding any supplement.
Where to Buy Shilajit Resin in the UK
If you decide to try shilajit, choose purified resin from a seller who publishes independent lab results, including heavy metals. Our resin has been independently tested by UK laboratories for heavy metals and fulvic acid content, and you can see the reports on our Testing and Certificates page.
