WHAT IS HEMP PROTEIN?

Hemp protein is a complete protein, which means it contains all nine essential amino acids (EAAs) that the body cannot produce by itself. EAAs are necessary for protein synthesis, muscle growth, wound healing, metabolism support, and mood regulation. Included in the EAAs are branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which are particularly important for muscle-building and recovery.  Furthermore, hemp protein is high in arginine, a conditionally essential amino acid required for the synthesis of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a signalling molecule that relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow to the muscles.

Increased nitric oxide production (arginine in particular) has been shown to improve anaerobic and aerobic performance. Hemp has a protein structure of 65% edestin and 35% albumin, both of which are highly digestible. It contains the perfect ratio of omega fatty acids that have been identified for good health: 3 to 1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6. Hemp seeds also contains sufficient quantities of zinc, iron, and magnesium. These are three of the most common metals/minerals implicated in mineral deficiency diseases.
