Hemp Protein is an excellent source of protein containing all of the Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) at a ratio closer to 'complete' sources of protein such as meat, milk and eggs. It is also packed with live enzymes, Essential Fatty Acids (EFA), vitamins, minerals and other co-factors to aid absorption
Our Hemp Protein Powder is 100% organic and manufactured via a proprietary processing method to retain as much of the nutritional goodness as possible.
Did you know?Absolutely no chemicals or heat are used in any of the processing. The process is cold pressed and cold filtered to produce hemp seed oil. Then the powder is created by cold milling, cold hulling and finally sifting.
In more detail
To attain optimum health we must eat foods that contain live enzymes, active phyto-nutrients, vitamins, minerals, EAAs, and EFAs.
These elements are termed "Essential" because the human body does not produce them, they must come from the food we eat. Hemp Seed is one of the plant kingdom's most concentrated, complete and balanced sources of EAAs and EFAs.
Hemp Seeds are rich in essential nutrients including chlorophyll, magnesium, potassium, sulphur, phytosterols, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, calcium, fibre, histidine, iron, potassium, phosphorus, riboflavin, niacin and thiamine.
Hemp Seed contains all 10 EAA, the building blocks of protein. Shelled Hemp Seed or Hemp Nut contains 34.6% pure digestible protein, providing readily available Amino Acids for building and repairing tissue. Hemp Seed Protein is comprised of 65% high quality Edestin Protein, the most potent protein of any plant source and 35% Globulin Edestin, which closely resembles the globulin in blood plasma and is highly compatible with the human digestive system.
When compared to Soy protein - the most commonly used form of plant protein - Hemp protein has a big advantage: Soy protein contains high levels of enzyme inhibitors blocking the uptake of trypsin and other enzymes the body uses for protein digestion. Eating a diet high in enzyme inhibitors, such as those contained in soy, can result in chronic amino acid and protein deficiencies.
Hemp Seed is rich in Omega 6 and Omega 3 EFAs as well as being one of the few plant sources of GLAs.
The vital issue with Hemp Seed, as with any food, is the processing. Traditional processing methods cannot maintain the exceptional nutritional value of Hemp Seed Protein.
To keep as much of the nutritional value of the Hemp Protein as possible we have developed a unique, proprietary cold processing method to make our Hemp Protein Powder. This keeps enzymes, phyto-nutrients, vitamins and minerals intact and maintains the integrity of the Hemp Seed Protein.
Our Hemp seed is whole, live, organically grown, non-GM and contains 0.000% THC.
Each serving also contains 0.2g of Omega-3, 1.4g of Omega 6 and 0.4g of Omega 9.
