I have read some info that Flax is bad for men’s testosterone levels. I know that flax is a main ingredient in huel, so what does the group have to say about this?
I was looking into it, I couldn’t find any studies based off normal participants not afflicted with any issues for a long period of time that would give some insight. All studies I found (quick searchs, edu/gov) involved participants that had specific issues such as women with high testosterone levels or men with prostate cancer.
I don’t know enough to say with how much is in Huel. I’ve yet to see any issues though.
I’d say if you’re a normal healthy individual without hormonal issues my opinion is - No it won’t make much of a difference if any with regards to lowering your testosterone.
@Dan_Huel May provide some insight?
As someone who consumes Huel Black for 2 of my 3 daily meals and have been consuming Huel for over a year now, I think I can speak on the topic.
I’ve dropped 93 lbs over the past 13 months and have been Vegan since 9/2019. While I haven’t had any tests done, I would say that my testosterone levels have increased significantly, as has my strength and sex drive.
In addition to the two daily Huel servings, I snack with Huel Bars (no clue if they have flax) and have a bed of greens with ground flax mixed in with every dinner meal at least 5 days a week for over a year now.
No idea if any of the above is of value to you, just speaking from my personal experience. I think any study that speaks to the contrary is BS in my opinion.
Thanks for your response
It’s also not the first time that someone asks this kind of thing (and was debunked), so I would love to know where did you get that from?
