BERTRAND compared with Soylent

Author of the article: BERTRAND Article published under: Nov 29, 2016


In addition to BERTRAND, other powdered foods have emerged that contain all the essential nutrients an average adult needs per day. One of these products is Soylent from Rob Rhinehart.

When choosing powdered food products, there are categories—such as the nutrients they contain—that you can compare directly as a consumer. But there are also philosophies about which ingredients a food product should—and should not—contain. The composition you choose depends on the goals you want to achieve with powdered food. More on that in the direct comparison.

The philosophies of BERTRAND and Soylent

Soylent obtains its nutrients primarily from synthetically produced vitamins and minerals, following a trend initiated by Soylent developer Rob Rhinehart. The advantage of synthetically produced vitamins and minerals is that they have a very long shelf life and are very inexpensive to produce.

BERTRAND obtains all its nutrients from around 20 natural sources, such as gluten-free grains, oilseeds, almonds, nuts, berries, algae, and other natural ingredients. With this philosophy, we follow the recommendations of major nutritional societies, which consider taking synthetic vitamins unnecessary and in some cases even harmful.

We have summarized the benefits of nutrients from natural sources here once again.

Comparing the variants is complex because both BERTRAND and Soylent are available in different pack sizes. We therefore compared the largest packs available for each product in a one-time order. Soylent from RosaLabs is not yet distributed in the EU, so we have not included shipping costs.
