Hemp protein

Hemp is an incredibly versatile plant that has been used for thousands of years for a wide range of purposes. Early uses of hemp were unlimited, serving as a source for weaving, nutrition (an excellent source of protein, omega fatty acids, and a high fiber content), paper production (the Bible was written on hemp paper, as was the American Declaration of Independence), and even in medicine. Today, it's used as a building material, in car panels, and as a potential biofuel (diesel and ethanol).

Hemp is a member of the cannabis genus, and some people assume that it has the same psychoactive properties. This is absolutely not the case; it's not possible to get "high" from hemp protein powder. The psychoactive nature of marijuana comes from its THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content, which exists in hemp in negligible amounts. Hemp has a maximum THC content of 0.01%, which is significantly lower than the EU's legal limit of 0.2%. This is a stark contrast to marijuana, which typically has a THC content of around 12%.

Features of hemp protein:
• Protein content of around 50% (contains all essential amino acids)
• High insoluble fiber content (about 25%), which doesn't cause bloating in the stomach and intestines, making it excellent for people with celiac disease
• Contains omega fatty acids (omega 3, omega 6, and omega 9), with omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acid ratios almost perfectly matching the human body's composition and requirements
• Contains minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron (contains 18mg per 100g), phosphorus, and sulfur
• High levels of antioxidants like chlorophyll
• An excellent protein source for vegetarians and vegans, as well as individuals whose health condition does not allow them to consume animal-based proteins
• Suitable for individuals with allergies because it doesn't trigger them
• Hemp protein helps maintain the body's mild alkalinity (protein has a pH of 7.0)
