we use soy protein isolate in our formulas because it’s an excellent source of high-quality, plant-based protein! soy is also a complete source of protein, which means it contains all the essential amino acids needed for healthy, functioning bodies. soy has many health benefits including helping to lower the glycemic index of our product, higher digestibility, not to mention it provides a smoother texture when consumed and is more sustainable for the environment. you can read more about why we use Soy protein by visiting our blog!

Soylent that is unopened can be stored at room temperature with a shelf-life of up to one year. while most users choose to refrigerate their Soylent before enjoying it, it isn’t required. heat should not cause Soylent to spoil, however, if temperatures go above 110 degrees the vitamins & nutrients may begin to break down over time. The "best by" date listed on your Soylent is not an expiration date but rather the date where we have data for best taste and texture quality. consuming our product after the “best by” date should not pose a food safety concern.

while Soylent can replace any meal, it is not intended to replace every meal. if you are just getting started, try incorporating Soylent gradually into a balanced diet. as with any change in diet or health, we recommend talking to your health care provider or nutritionist to determine if Soylent is a good fit for your needs. Soylent can help you reach your nutrition goals over the course of a day or week. consider adding Soylent to your diet to ensure you are getting the nutrition you need to be healthy.

we believe modern food processing can be a safe and economic option for food production when complete nutrition is at the forefront. we use scientific methods in food design and production to fill in the gaps in your day -- and your diet.

GMO crops can provide nutritious, sustainable, and efficient yields that will help in maximizing the land in which they are grown. GMOs also cut down on food waste as well as the time and resources spent to grow food. this means GMO crops are more sustainable and reliable than those that are organically grown.

many of the misconceptions and myths around GMOs stem from a lack of awareness around current science and our food system.
