Go Hemp

When you hear the word "hemp," generally the last thing that comes to mind is protein and bodybuilding. Without going into details of the other "psychoactive" strains of hemp, it's time you learned more about what hemp can do for you from a nutritional standpoint. I know that I was very surprised to learn how to complete a food hemp!

I personally tested a hemp protein supplement for a period of two months, without using other sources of supplementary protein. It was difficult to leave the whey that had I been using for many years but, to give hemp a fair trial, I needed to be sure the results would not be affected other sources of supplementary protein.

So for two months, it was just hemp protein ...

Now, hemp is one of the most versatile plants in the world - it can be used for something in the clothing of fuel and even autoparts (all Mercedes / Chrysler models use hemp side panels composite, because they are more resistant to tooth). For our purposes, we will focus entirely on its content of dietary protein /.

Hemp protein, while being a plant source, is actually a surprisingly complete protein. Hemp protein contains all 20 known amino acids including 10 essential amino acids (8 adults - 2 more are considered essential for children and seniors) our bodies can not produce. Proteins are considered complete if they contain all 10 essential amino acids in sufficient quantity and in proportion to the needs of the organization.

Hemp also has a very good profile of essential fatty acids - it contains fatty acids in perfect balance with each other (Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids (EFAs), in almost perfect 1:3 ratio respectively) .

Another major benefit of supplementation with hemp protein content is very high in insoluble fiber powder. Fiber helps keep your blood sugar stable (ideal for fat loss), not to mention helping to keep you "regular." On the ingredient label, you will see how the fiber is hemp ... All the carb is fiber, making it an excellent protein for low carbohydrate diets.

So what does all this mean for you? The major benefits of hemp protein supplementation that I discovered in my 2-month trial:

1. First and foremost - no loss of muscle mass or decrease in muscle growth

One of the main things I worried when the transition to a plant protein would be loss of muscle mass. Could a plant protein provide a very complete protein and important enough to keep the muscles and help support muscle growth? The answer is "absolutely!" In using the hemp protein muscle building, was just as good or better than protein or whey protein mixtures. No problems at all there.

2. Excellent protein quality and usability

A better quality protein is more bioavailble in terms of digestibility and ability to be used in the body. When you train with weights, you want a protein that will be well absorbed and readily usable by the body. Hemp fits the bill here. Being a "whole-food" supplement means it already contains most of the enzymes necessary for optimal digestion.

3. No protein-bloating

If you have already taken a big protein shake (like whey or milk protein), you're most likely aware of this "expanding" feeling that happens soon after. This is not the case with hemp protein. Whatever the reason, either without ingredients based on milk or is a plant protein, taking hemp did not cause any bloating at all.

4. No breath of protein

Those who take milk proteins like whey or casein can definitely understand it. Your mouth tastes and smells of sour milk, shortly after drinking. Hemp protein, however, does not leave a bitter aftertaste. I know that Mr.
