Recent Comments about Hemp Natural...

"The Hemp Protein in Great - I will be ordering again soon. The service is great, the website is cool and the product tastes fantastic!" Martin Braniff, VeganBodyBuildingToday.co.uk

"I've only really just discovered hemp and its many uses in just about everything including nutrition. I'm currently trialing your product as a natural replacement for other whey or soy protein based supplements." Luke Fameli

"I've just tried this today it's got a pretty good taste and it's nutritional profile is in my view superior to the Canadian stuff. It makes more sense for those of us in Europe to use this rather the stuff from across the pond if we are choosing to use a hemp protein as it's grown over here (so less transportation & so more eco-friendly), more healthy fat & less carbs." Pete, VeganBodyBuilding.Org

"This stuff is good. I bought a tub at the london fayre on sunday and I already prefer it over the soya powder I used to buy in H&B." Chris Goodman

"Your Hemp Protein is definitely better tasting & smoother than some of the other brands I’ve tried!" Charlie, Charlie's Raw Treats

 

Review of Trial done by Nick Nilsson - Vice-President of BetterU, Inc

Here are the main benefits of hemp protein supplementation that I discovered in my 2 month trial:

1. First and foremost - no loss of muscle mass or decline in muscle growth One of the main things I worried about when switching to a plant-based protein would be loss of muscle mass. Could a plant protein really provide a complete protein and in substantial enough quantities to keep muscle AND help support muscle growth? The answer is "absolutely!" In using the hemp protein, muscle building was just as good, if not better, than with whey protein or protein blends. 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're training with weights, you want a protein that is going to be well-absorbed and easily utilized by the body. Hemp fits the bill here. Being a "whole-food" supplement means it already contains many of the enzymes necessary for optimal digestion.

3. No protein-bloating If you've ever taken a big protein shake (like whey or milk protein), you're most likely familiar with that "expanding" feeling that happens soon after. This does NOT happen with hemp protein. Whatever the reason, be it no milk-based ingredients or that it's a plant protein, taking hemp didn't cause any bloating at all.

4. No protein breath Those who take milk-based proteins like whey or casein can definitely understand this one. Your mouth tastes and smells like rotten milk soon after you drink it. Hemp protein, however, doesn't leave a sour aftertaste. I know my wife was very appreciative of this fact and insisted I get more hemp protein based solely on that!

5. No unnecessary ingredients The hemp protein product that I used in my test had only one single ingredient: hemp meal - no artificial sweeteners, flavors or anything not found in the hemp plant itself. To be honest, adding any other nutrients in would be totally unnecessary due to the nutritional completeness of the hemp. So if you're concerned about getting artificial sweeteners in your protein powder (especially when on lower-carb diets), hemp is an excellent way to go.

6. High Fiber = Cleaner Insides One of the least talked-about aspects of health is intestinal health. But it's EXTREMELY important to mention because a cleaner intestinal tract makes for improved nutrient absorption. The better you absorb nutrients from the foods you eat, the healthier overall you will be. Plus, the better your nutrient absorption, the more efficient your body will be both in fat loss and muscle building. The high amounts of insoluble fiber found in hemp protein really help keep your digestive tract moving along and functioning well.

When I first decided to give the hemp protein a try, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The information I read on it was very positive but I had always used whey or egg-based protein supplements. Would hemp do the job? Hemp passed the test with flying colors. If you're looking for a high-quality protein that has the potential to really improve your health, I HIGHLY recommend hemp protein as an excellent addition to your supplement regimen. Let me put it this way...it's not often that I include a new supplement in my core supplement regimen and I'm CONSTANTLY testing new supplements to see how well they work. In the past 6 months, I've tried 11 new supplements. The ONLY one to make the cut is hemp protein.
