The 2018 Farm Bill legalized cultivating the Hemp plant in the US. Before that, growing hemp was illegal mainly because of its close resemblance to marijuana, the psychoactive member of the cannabis family. Although it belongs to the same plant family, hemp has an entirely different composition than marijuana and does not have a similar psychoactive impact on the consumer. We believe it is important to mention these details given the current state of hemp and consumer understanding.

Ever since the legalization of hemp cultivation, hemp has made its way into a number of industries, such as the textile, paper and food industry. Especially since more and more people are becoming interested in the cruelty-free and vegan lifestyle, hemp has emerged as a great source of plant-based Protein supplementation. This is the reason why a number of vitamin and supplement suppliers are looking into Hemp Protein manufacturing.

What is Hemp Protein?

Hemp is one of the most popular sources of plant-based protein powders nowadays. Hemp protein is essentially obtained from the hemp seeds which are ground and pressed to get a finely milled powder.

Protein is the basic building block of nearly all parts of a human body. From muscle generation to a healthy immune system, protein is essential for proper bodily functions. Protein is also what helps in injury recovery. This is the reason why sportsmen, athletes, bodybuilders, and others with an active lifestyle need adequate protein intake to help their bodies keep up with their lifestyle.

Hemp protein is a great plant-based alternative for people who cannot fulfill their protein requirements through meat and other animal-based sources. Not only are hemp seeds an abundant source of protein, as compared to other plant sources, they are also gaining popularity because of the quality of the protein they offer.

The Benefits of Hemp Protein

Hemp protein manufacturing is gaining popularity by the day. Here are a few reasons why hemp protein is better than most of the other protein options in the market today.

1.   A Great Plant-based Alternative

The number of people turning to vegan diets due to health, moral or religious reasons is increasing tremendously in 2020. This is why most of the vitamin and supplement sellers have started introducing vegan supplements as well. Unfortunately, when it comes to proteins, the majority of vegan options do not offer the complete range of amino acids. Those that do are not always sustainable and environment-friendly. Hemp seeds are the most sustainable source of high-quality, plant-based protein.

2.   A Complete Protein

Unlike most of the other plant-based protein sources, hemp protein contains all of the nine essential amino acids. Hemp protein consumers may have to look for another source for lysine which is found in low percentages in hemp seeds. Other than that, the internal make-up of hemp protein is quite similar to that of egg whites and soy. Although a single serving of hemp protein may not be as packed as beef, it is a sure way to get more than what other plants can offer.

3.   Synergistic Effect of Nutrients

About 98% of protein from cold-pressed hemp seeds is digestible for the human body. In fact, hemp protein is as easily digested by human beings as lentils. Apart from proteins, hemp seeds are packed with several other nutrients as well. They contain calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and manganese. All these nutrients work synergistically to provide numerous benefits to the human body. Additionally, hemp protein is full of fiber and rich in unsaturated fats that are important for a healthy heart.

Make sure that you opt for protein supplements from cold-pressed hemp. Hemp protein manufacturing with cold-pressed hemp ensures that the product retains the nutritional value of organic hemp seeds.
