Hemp protein

Hemp protein is undoubtedly the highest quality vegetable protein, as it contains all 23 amino acids and has a high protein content of albumin and edestin. Hemp protein is a great aid in diets, during recovery, for athletes in training, or as a supplement to any regimen where a higher protein intake is needed to maintain muscle mass. As well as being 50% protein, it also contains minerals, vitamins and fibre. Of particular note is the protein edestin, which is very similar in composition to human plasma protein and is therefore involved in the synthesis of antibodies, hormones and haemoglobin in the body. The protein should be taken in 15g twice daily, in this case after exercise. It is best consumed in the form of a shake with bananas and vegetable milk.

Benefits of Hemp Protein: Why It's a Nutritional Powerhouse

Hemp protein is unlike any other in the plant world. It contains all 23 naturally occurring amino acids, including the 8 essential ones that the human body cannot produce and must obtain through diet. Additionally, hemp protein offers the perfect balance of unsaturated fatty acids—Omega 3, 6, and 9—making it an exceptional nutritional supplement. For example, linoleic and linolenic acids found in hemp are crucial for the exchange of electrical impulses in tissues.

Nutritional Value of Hemp Protein

Hemp protein is also rich in fiber (about 20%) and helps create an alkaline environment in the body, aiding in detoxification by removing toxins and heavy metals. Regular use improves blood circulation, while the chlorophyll content cleanses the blood. Hemp protein is a natural source of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, D, and E, and is high in antioxidants, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron.

How Hemp Protein Compares to Other Proteins

Hemp Protein vs. Whey Protein

• No lactose or gluten: Ideal for those with intolerances.
• Easily digestible: Light on the stomach with high absorption rates (up to 90%).
• 100% plant-based: Rich in bioactive substances and enzymes.
• Contains essential fatty acids: Includes Omega 3 and 6.
• Free from allergens: Safe for those with allergies.
• No heat treatment: Retains nutritional integrity.

Hemp Protein vs. Soy Protein

• No chemical treatment: Hemp protein is processed naturally.
• Low risk of genetic modification: Unlike soy, which is often genetically modified.
• No oligosaccharides: These can cause bloating and stomach issues in soy protein.
• Retains natural oils: Hemp protein maintains its precious oils.
• No heat treatment: Soy protein often undergoes heat treatment, which can reduce its nutritional value.

How to Use Hemp Protein

1. Increasing Muscle Mass

Within 30 minutes after training, consume a protein shake with a higher carbohydrate content, where approximately 15-25% is protein (like HEMP GAINER 25%).

2. Supplementing Daily Protein Intake

If you need to boost your daily protein intake, consume hemp protein about 1 to 1.5 hours after exercise. A protein with about 50% content (like HEMP PROTEIN BIO) is ideal, and for even higher protein intake, consider options with up to 90% protein.

3. Weight Loss

To aid in weight loss, take a protein with 45-50% content (like BIO HEMP PROTEIN or KAKAO / KOKOS PROTEIN) within 30 minutes after exercise.

4. Energy Boost

To increase energy levels, take hemp protein throughout the day and before exercise. HEMP GAINER 25% mixed with a banana is a great option.

5. Meal Replacement

As a substitute for one meal during the day, mix hemp protein with vegetables like spinach, carrot, beetroot, or avocado, or with fruits like banana and raspberries. Add hemp seeds for an extra nutritional boost.

For a savory option: Use BIO hemp protein. For a sweet option: Use BIO hemp protein, hemp protein coconut/cocoa, or hemp GAINER.

What Makes Our Hemp Proteins Different?

The primary difference lies in their composition:

• BIO HEMP PROTEIN: 100% hemp protein, 50% protein content.
• HEMP PROTEIN COCOA: Hemp protein, uncooked cocoa powder, stevia extract, 45% protein content.
• HEMP PROTEIN COCONUT: Hemp protein, coconut powder, stevia extract, 45% protein content.
• HEMP GAINER-FITNESS: Hemp protein, barley malt, rice milk powder, 25% protein content.

How to Incorporate Hemp Protein Into Your Diet
