It's hard to find a more perfect protein source than hemp! With a similar profile to egg, it contains all the Essential Amino Acids making hemp protein is the most complete source of protein in the plant kingdom. Plant-based food is alkaline-forming, and when you eat alkaline foods, it reduces inflammation, and when you reduce inflammation, you increase functionality. Hemp is also a nutritional powerhouse containing large amounts of omega 3, 6 & 9, 37% fibre, iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium and detoxifying chlorophyll. Also, hemp proteins are similar to proteins found in the human body, which makes them easy to digest and assimilate quickly, so they’re a great alternative to whey and soy proteins, which are often heavily processed and hard to digest - no bloating!
