Soylent isn't a mixture of OTC vitamin mixtures. It's a custom blend. Ars Technica did a series on it:

That was the beta version, v1.0 actually addresses the chalky and such. I think it's an interesting concept.

I'm sorry but I know I'm 100% right about this. Genuine multivitamins aren't even available in powder form or pill form. It's a liquid that can cost 10x more than the over the counter stuff. There's nothing cheap about it. A few mLs can cost up to $4 or $5. This is full of fillers that he doesn't even know about. Could be sand, tar, paper, all three are excepted fillers for cheap multivitamins. The sand probably explains the frothy problem.
