Hemp protein is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids that the human body needs but cannot produce.

PROTEINS: Hemp Protein P40 naturally contains all 20 amino acids along with the easily digestible proteins edestin (65%) and albumin (35%) both of which are critical to ongoing health. About 65% of the proteins contained in hemp protein consist of the easily digestible protein edestin, a so-called storage protein (contains amino acids). The remaining 35% is albumin, a high-quality protein whose structure is similar to that of the protein in a chicken egg. About 50% of the protein content in blood plasma consists of albumin. It is also considered a transport protein for magnesium and calcium, for example. Both albumin and edestin are globular proteins ie soluble in water, acids and bases.

MINERAL AND VITAMINS: Hemp Protein 40 naturally contains plenty of nutrients like vitamins E and B (including folate) along with a bevy of minerals, such as phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, calcium, copper and iron. All of these contribute to supporting immunity at a cellular level and creating antibodies to fight free radicals and bacteria.

FIBRE: One of the most remarkable benefits of the product comes from its fibre content a total of 32% and at over 60% soluble fibre, it's near the threshold of what can be officially described as a 'prebiotic.' Soluble fibre turns into a nourishing gel in the gut that promotes a healthy microbiome. The other component, insoluble fibre increases gut transit times and helps to regulate gut functionality.
