Benefits of Hemp Protein

Hemp protein powders are rich in fibre, a nutrient that has a number of valuable health promoting properties. Diets rich in fibre can lower your risk for heart disease, type-2 diabetes, constipation and Diverticular Disease, notes the Harvard Public School of Health.

Additional benefits of hemp protein include potential immune enhancing and anti-fatigue properties, as well as kidney-protective effects.

Hemp protein is a high-fibre protein. It is made from the hemp seed which is composed of approximately 45 percent oil, 35 percent protein and 10 percent carbohydrates. Hemp can be considered a superior protein source due to its great digestibility, which also makes it ideal for athletes. The better the protein is digested, the more efficiently it can be used by the body.

The digestibility of any given protein is related to the concentrations of its amino acids. Hemp protein contains all the essential amino acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) making it the most complete source of protein. It is a crucial component for muscle repair and building, together with vitamins, minerals, fibre, enzymes, probiotics and antioxidants which are found in hemp seeds.

Hemp seed is composed of two primary types of protein: Edestin (65%) and Albumin (35%).

Edestin protein is found only in hemp seed and is considered the backbone of the cell’s DNA. It is similar to the human body’s own globular proteins found in blood plasma.

Albumin protein is another high quality globulin protein and is similar to that found in egg whites. Albumin is highly digestible and is a major source of free radical scavengers.

Lastly, there are no known allergies to hemp.
