Amino acids are essential and indispensable for proper metabolic function. They must therefore be provided by your diet. However, in the context of a vegetarian or vegan diet or when the appetite is not there for breakfast, there may be a protein deficiency. To remedy this, find out about hemp protein and how you can include it in your eating routine. 

Hemp, a plant that does not leave indifferent

Hemp is known for its fiber in the manufacture of textiles, its leaves and its oil for its medicinal virtues.

However, did you know that it could be consumed in powder form? 

The cultivation of hemp is ecological and requires little treatment. The hemp protein powder comes from the crushed seeds. The result is oil and a residue, the cake. It is the latter which, once defatted will be dried and then reduced to a very fine powder: hemp protein.

Thus, this powder is a dietary supplement rich in fiber and high in protein. 

Focus on hemp protein

Hemp is considered a complete protein due to the fact that it contains all 8 essential amino acids. Its quality is often compared to that of soy and egg white. In addition, it is important to highlight the presence of L-tyrosine and arginine in high concentrations. These two amino acids although not essential are respectively useful for : 

• reduce the feeling of fatigue and recover after an effort, stress or convalescence

• improve the healing process as well as the immune response.

For 100g of product, nearly 50% represents protein share, which is exceptional. 

Hemp powder for optimal digestion

The plant proteins do not have the same value as those of animal origin. However, hemp protein powder is the exception that proves the rule: it is extremely well tolerated, digested and assimilated. 

However, a precaution is necessary. It was noticed thatcold pressed hemp seeds were of much better quality. The hemp protein of the Govinda brand  respects this quality requirement. Indeed, not only is the raw material from organic farming but it has not been treated above 45°C.

Hemp and fiber

The fiber in hemp seed powder helps regulate transit, limit blood sugar rise and nourish "good" gut bacteria.

Indeed, today, it is universally recognized the importance of the intestinal microbiota in physical and psychological health in general. A varied and diversified flora is a guarantee of good health. To keep it in optimal condition, it must be regularly fed with fermented foods and cellulose. So the fiber in hemp protein is a valuable asset to your gut and overall health. 

Quality fatty acids in hemp seed powder

Despite the degreasing at the time of grinding, there are still traces of fatty acids. These, being part of the great Omega family are of excellent quality. They are cardio-protective and anti-inflammatory.

Their presence in small but notable enough quantities makes them an interesting supplement for people who are careful with their caloric intake. 

Hemp protein powder: antioxidants to protect cells from aging

The lignanamides found in ground hemp seed powder have significant antioxidant properties. Every day, you are subjected to visible or invisible attacks of free radicals (tobacco, pollution, UV rays...) which accelerate the aging of cells. The antioxidants present in this product thus protect you from premature aging and free radical damage. 

In addition, we note the presence of zinc, copper, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron and manganese which are minerals essential to the proper functioning of the various organic systems. 

How to use hemp protein powder?

Depending on your needs, add a dose of organic hemp protein powder to your smoothies, bawls, compote, vegetable juice, vegetable yogurt etc... To be taken preferably in the morning to stimulate the production of dopamine and later of serotonin. Neurostransmitters require proteins to be properly synthesized. 

In view of the presence of fatty acid, the box should be kept cool to prevent the product from going rancid.
