It depends on the source of the milk. There is evidence of hormones and antibiotics (not allowed in certain countries), and by products making it into the milk, as well as by products of inflammation due to the grains that are not a natural part of the…

Is there any science or research that suggests there's some negative effect from cattle being given hormones or antibiotics that makes its way to whey protein powder? I tend to get very skeptical when I hear people talk about "toxins" and such.

I just wonder if you or anyone else have tried this?

I spent a lot of time building a vitamin on their website before pulling the trigger on my current blend. I think my cost came out to $100 for 30 days supply. It's intriguing but for that cost I'll be less lazy and multisource

I sent a 3 weeks' package of my Soylent to someone in Germany from Ireland via GLS, and it went through customs no problem - though of course that might have been luck. I haven't ordered the official Soylent myself since I produce (and sell) my own version.…

Got it and working great.

Namaskar! ...........................

Namaste ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stay in def col. Happy to share notes.

I stay near Green Park. Where do you stay? Maybe once we have our recipes ready, we can share notes...

yea, thats actually one of the places i was gonna go to. The nutrients can be ordered from healthkart as well.

Where in Delhi? You should be able to get most of it in Defence Colony. There is a health store in the basement of Malik Brothers.

I am based out of Delhi. I'll see if I can get something similar here, but the list seems to be comprehensive. thanks for that. will keep you posted.

Where are you based? Ive used Thyrocare (http://wellness.thyrocare.com/wellness.asp) to do tests in the past two years. You should be looking for the 70 parameters one. I got an SMS from these guys for deals they are running -> Raj 9716133329 or 9716723329.…

@harshbatra I am actually going to be ordering the stuff by this weekend. I will try and make a small batch. The smallest I can get is probably for 10 days. I checked out that most of this stuff is almost readily available off the shelf at different…

Hello all (and @filleokus), I'll be on vacation until August 5th so can't accept any new orders until then. Sorry!

@Johannes A Swede who would love to try Soylent here, could you please contact me?

Sorry my wording was quite bad, what I meant was that yes it's possible but it's time consuming to code and the cost-benefit of doing it is much lower than that most other requested features.

Out of curiosity, it doesn't look like you're persisting the recipe modifications in any way. Am I missing something or is this a future feature?

As a programmer, I disagree, it's very possible, just time consuming. This is a long-term feature request.

The problem with your request @freshmaker from a programming perspective and that is that there could be no possible combination to create the specific breakdown you enter of X protein, Y carbs and Z fats or just as complicated there could be multiple…

Hey Rotbart, you've put a lot of work into this, thank you for sharing with the community. I have a functionality request, (though not being a computer coder I'm not sure how much effort is involved in implementing it) basically I would like to be input…

Just a quick heads up that the recipe app is now available on http://soylent.mk with an updated default recipe. New features coming soon.

Just another one from Berlin here Just hopped in into that topic, if the other Berlin guys are still working I'd love to join you(@frank93 @Philip_H)

They must have paid him very well.

I think the article is hilarious. There's nothing wrong with Dr. Hyman's recommendations per se, but he's chosen to explain it from the perspective of sourcing out free range chickens that were read love poems by the rancher's daughter, and healing yourself…

Googling for information on nutritionally optimised meals, I got THIS: How to Optimize Your Nutrition for Vibrant Health, by Mark Hyman MD I've seen crappy nutritional articles before, but this one takes the cake! It's incredible to me that an MD would…

Any news about your package? how much did you order @endac and @CuriousBen?

I am from Berlin, and intend to order 2 months worth of Soylent with Shipito.com from Oregon. There are 3 other people interested in trying it, and we'll share. Any thoughts on customs, especially because the forbidden medicament/supplement thing?

Sending you both a PM now!

@Johannes Interested user from the Netherlands here could you contact me?

@johannes If you could send me a pm? Would be very interesting to try 'soylent' a while.

Hey Johannes, im interested

@rotbart yes that does help thank you very much!

Hey @nathan1, There are myriad recipes out there, most of them are comparable as long as they satisfy the nutritional requirements. I had a quick look at it looks like this recipe relies a lot more on powdered form for a lot of the micronutrients where…

@rotbart you've put a great deal of effort into sharing knowledge for us aussies, thanks for that. I was wondering how your recipe compares to this one here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArMok9WEtR-EdHNXLXE4b25OUDV4OW44ODJTWG82VEE&usp=sharing…

If you have trouble with your scale, this one seems to be really neat (0.01g; 0-100g) and it is only 13€. Amazon Link

After @Hamster's spotting of the error, I realise I have been living with ~20g of dietary fibre and it seems to have been fine. I'll try and up it to ~30g as the first step but 20g seems to have been fine for my body. Researching myself it looks like…

Thanks for the detailed response. This mornings batch I actually managed to get to something I could describe as tasty. Found the problem in mine to be the higher powdered oats. I was using 70g oats, 40g Maltodextrin and 200g soy protein isolate per day…

Hey @G_Force, I've managed to find a good flavour combination that works for me. I've found that the biggest influence of flavour perception to me was the powdered-oats vs maltodextrin ratio. I found that I need them at equal parts to maintain good…

rotbart said: psyllium husk If you're willing to go with psyllium husk exclusively, many options pop up, for example:http://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/product.asp?id=60392&pname=Soland+Psyllium+Husk+500ghttp://www2.woolworthsonline.com.au/Shop/ProductDetails?Stockcode=291182…

@rotbart, After giving up on finding a good way of getting fitness fiber in Australia, I've found that even with those figures it's one of the cheaper fibre sources...let me know if you find anything better.

Thanks @Hamster for catching that issue! It is interesting-- as while I could easily be mistaken, I seem to remember the nutritional values to being different when I built the recipe. At the time 400g pack was out of stock (and has been for weeks).…

Reading up on time release potassium supplements really underscores the importance of ingesting potassium as a dilute solution. Taking it in pill form is risky.

The point of the potassium powder is that it is mixed in with the rest of your shake. This dilutes it and spreads it out. If it is in a vitamin then there is the potential that the vitamin will sit in one spot while being digested and damage the tissue.…

how would the potassium be less damaging as a powder? I'm assuming its a matter of the chemistry, whatever its bonded too limits the release rate / keeps it from interacting with tissue before absorption. I ended up using the chelate mix you'd suggested…

well the catch is keeping the calcium in balance, if you keep that at 2g (within limit) , you're now having to fill in with another source of potassium

I'll comment on the silicon deficiency. Grains in general are good sources of silicon, so if you're using oats, you probably don't need to supplement. This article claims that you'll get about 595mg silicon per 100g of oats. And the evidence that silicon…

I have been taking Boron on my workout days. Plus my multi-vitamin has some Boron in it as well. I haven't noticed really any difference. But I was reading that it can help with muscle rebuilding, so I decided to add some in.

Don't forget lithium, I'd be curious to see if environmental exposure fills the gap on some of these.

some multivits have some of them, mine for example does contain boron and a ton of other 'helpful' micro-ingredients. It's more of a scatter shot, the evidence behind all these is pretty weak. It can be argued that many of these have a positive effect…

I'm reading through a lot of very wordy guidelines and information sources from the National Agriculture Library, and I came across this PDF describing the elements in the title. The tl;dr is that no RDA is set for any of these, but it's shown that you…

It appears that with the new ingredients it will be vegan. But you may want to double check are there are different "types" of vegan, or so I have been told.

Just posting here to echo the sentiment that I'll pay more for vegan as well. Thanks!

Ah sure GLS are a bunch of chancers in Ireland It was held up for clearance by UPS in Koeln today, but it should be here tomorrow - will keep you guys posted if that changes.

Like Ado I'm still waiting on some supplies but I managed to source my entire ingredients list from a combination of bulknutrients.com.au iherb.com and aussiehealthproducts.com.au. If you take a look at this thread you can access a small app another…

Good place to start discourse.soylent.me Australian Based Ingredients Hi, Since Amazon dont ship most ingredients to Australia.. for whatever reason... I had to source the ingredients from alternate locations.. thought I would share.…

I've been incredibly interested in Soylent for some time now, but since I live in Australia I'm unable to partake in the program and purchase ready-made servings for home use. I feel that my best option is to wait until the Soylet Corporation starts selling…

Hello fellow Germans! Based in Berlin here, but I have a slightly different question: I'm shipping my (review copy) of Soylent from Texas, should I have any problems getting it into the country with UPS? I'm marking it as a food supplement.

Interested send PM please

Interested. Also Poland!

Hi, I'm interested as well - Poland

Also Calcium Caseinate http://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/shop-by-category/protein-supplements/slow-release-protein/calcium-caseinate.html - protein powder has a lot of phosphorous as well (an insane amount of calcium though obviously ). Having a lot of trouble…

Propa is just trolling, everyone. Don't feed the troll.

While I still have not had a chance to do the research into all of the Monsanto stuff, I find your comments to be rather ignorant.I can however speak for the research I have done in pesticides. Back in the day the Bald Eagle became endangered because…

Oh, btw... individuals speak out and give opinions. Companies, corporations and governments spread propaganda. Please get your terms correct.

Hilarious! I really enjoyed that rant -- thanks for posting. A much needed reminder to "find out for yourself" and to "trust the evidence"! Two thumbs up for that one.

Okay that video was awesome. I must admit that I have spread some propaganda myself without doing any research. Hopefully this will be a lesson to me, and I won't forget to do my own research. I love the line "How do you even tie your shoes in the…

I will just leave this here. NSFW But very very informative on the subject. I myself was guilty of spreading some of the hearsay about Monsanto and GMOs.

You make a very good point. Its like the fools who talk about the increase in autism. When in all actuality it is due to autism being misdiagnosed on a grand scale in the past.

ProPA,You are messed up. Okay, you may not be, but that's a messed up thing to suggest.For the record, if someone wanted an entirely organic Soylent, they're free to make it themselves. Unfortunately, a big part of commercial Soylent is the price. And…

Thanks for the ProPA-ganda. I don't much like Monsanto either but you actually make me embarrassed to state that.

I'd like to see soylent be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible, but I'm not convinced that being entirely organic or GMO free will result in it being as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible. If you're concerned that…

Great. Thanks for coming.

Evidence, please. Cancer rates may or may not have risen--it may just be better diagnosed. People are living longer now, so it stands to reason that more will develop cancer in their lifetimes. Also, the evidence for GMOs causing cancer is weak. So…

I didn't say that... read my post carefully. In the period prior to GM/pesticides, people died of many other things, bacteria, virus, coal pollution, other toxins in the air and cancer aggrevation was caused by many of some other factors, but incidence…

Lots of unique ways of living life - just don't bring others down with ya...

Live fast and die young. That's what I am doing. I will do what I want and have fun doing it and die young. Soylent just makes me more efficient at food consumption which gives me more time to do other stupid things.

So there was no cancer prior to GM/pesticides? Logic fail.

Right. Kali: I'm not sure how to send private messages here, so I'm publicly expressing interest in your formula. I can come to you in Wrocław and get it. I would be interested in 2-3 months' supply for two people.

I am in Poland regularly, between Wrocław and Warszawa. Would really be interested in experimenting with this "local" formula for a few months.
