You will realize quite early in the Once Human gameplay that suddenly, your health bar won’t fully charge. If you notice the health bar, you will see a shadowy blue-colored section blocking your health to be recovered completely. This guide will help you resolve this issue and restore Max Health once you are human.
Restoring Max Health In Once Human
When the right side of your health bar refuses to fill in Once Human, it indicates that you are losing your sanity. You lower your sanity by fighting monsters, venturing through polluted zones, or consuming raw food and dirty water.
Here’s how you can restore maximum health and make up for the lost sanity:
- Sanity Pills
- A Refreshing Drink
- Good Sleep

Sanity Pills
You can consume sanity gummies to recover your sanity levels. This is an immediate fix and will not require you to perform any additional tasks.

It is preferable to use this method of sanity recovery when you are away from your home base.
A Refreshing Drink
If you have collected enough plants, berries, and other ingredients, you can head to a nearby cooking memetics and brew a Herbal Tea. This special tea provides you with a slow, sanity recovery when you are out of combat. This tea also provides pollution resistance by 20.

Corn Ale is another drink that will immediately boost your sanity. You can retrieve this from a vending machine. And if you have unlocked fermentation, you can ferment it in your base.
Tip: Paying special attention to the description of consumable items will help you find out the benefits of consuming them.
Good Sleep
The most reliable method to restore sanity is by getting some good old-fashioned sleep. Once you unlock Basic Furniture in the Memetics Menu’s Building tab, you can craft a Bed using Logs and Adhesives.

These are all the discovered methods to bring your health meter to the max in Once Human. There still might be some food items that can help you gain better resistance against harsh environments and restore your sanity & health.
