Organic Hemp Protein
Introduction
Organic Hemp protein, made from the hemp seed, is a high-fiber protein supplement that can be used to enhance total protein intake for vegans and non-vegans alike. Hemp can be considered a superior protein source due to its above-average digestibility, which also makes it ideal for athletes. Additional benefits of hemp protein include potential immune enhancing and anti-fatigue properties, as well as kidney-protective effects.

Application
1. Hemp seed protein provides essential human fatty acids (EFAs) and have a fairly beneficial unsaturated to saturated fat ratio.
2. Hemp seed protein has high content of arginine 123mg/g protein and histidine 2 mg/g protein). Both are important for childhood growth, as well as for the synthesis of the necessary enzyme, the sulfide-containing amino acid cystine 16 mg/g protein.
3. Hemp seed protein also contains relatively high levels of branched chain amino acids which are very important for skeletal muscle metabolism.
