The herbal hemp protein offers a huge advantage compared to animal protein or products such as tofu and soy.
It has numerous substances and is thus very important for the entire body.
In addition to a unique amino acid profile, hemp protein has to offer the following:
- An almost perfect fatty acid patterns especially high biological value
- It features micro-nutrients such as minerals, trace elements and vitamins
- The fiber is extremely high
- No trypsin inhibitors and oligosaccharides
- (Digestion inhibitor) are included
- All of these make the hemp protein to be processed into a precious powder and can significantly assist the body.
Amino Acids in Hemp Protein
Amino acids occur as building blocks for proteins in the body and are organic compounds.
Thereby, the amino acid profile is in the optimum ratio, as well as in sufficient quantity exists, especially in the organic hemp seed protein.
Since the body can not manufacture the essential amino acids but it had to be absorbed through the diet.
Thus, organic hempseed protein is well suitable, particularly to provide the body with essential amino acids.
Amino acids are not only for muscle building, but also for the repair of cell, regeneration and tissue repair.
Advancing in its benefits to the cardiovascular system as well as blood pressure, it has positive effects through the amino acid L-arginine, which is included in the hempseed protein.
In addition, it’s assumed that L-arginine has a potency effect.
Fatty Acids in Hemp Protein
Hemp protein also has a nearly perfect fatty acid pattern. In the hemp protein, about 10% hemp oil can be found, which are characterized in particular by the important omega-3 and Omege-6 fatty acids.
Still, polyunsaturated linoleic acid as well as triple-unsaturated linolenic acid are present in the Nutiva hemp protein and are also considered essential.
The outstanding fatty acid pattern is therefore good for the cholesterol and protects the brain from deposits, which in turn can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease.
For this reason, hemp protein is used also for treating of Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease.
‘Biological Value’ of Hemp Protein
Efficiency is meant to be referred to the term “Biological value“, with which the body can absorb a food protein, then convert this into an endogenous protein.
In particular, the correct composition of the essential amino acids is responsible.
Because the protein from the body and the protein from food are similar, the processing is easier.
Through the unique amino acids composition, Nutiva hempseed protein has a high biological value.
However in two protein types, the distinction – globulin (65 percent and albumin (35 percent):)
Globulin:
About 40 percent of globulins are contained in the human body.
They serve not only as a transport protein but regulate the pH of enzymes and are energy supplier.
The main task in the immune system is however to ward off foreign objects of any kind and to prevent an intrusion.
Having a very high similarity to the protein in the hempseed protein, globulin can be exploited very well without precipitation that could in turn burden the kidney or liver.
Albumin:
Albumin is very similar to the protein of Chicken ice cream. However, it’s still nice for vegan and still has the advantage that it is very easy to digest and can continue to have a high sulphur content.
Trace elements, minerals and vitamins in the hemp protein
Many micronutrients such as trace elements, minerals and vitamins are contained in Industrial hemp protein.
This referred to the concept of micro-nutrients supply but no energy substances are absorbed by the body.
Most of these substances are essential substances that must be fed into the body via the food are important for cell growth, hormone growth and metabolism.
In particular, the essential vitamins such as iron, magnesium, vitamin E and zinc in the hemp seed protein which are supplied to the body.
While iron is a component of many enzymes and is required for the transport of oxygen, the body needs magnesium for the immune system and is essential in the cell membrane.
Vitamin E, however, acts as an antioxidant and protects the body. A vitamin E deficiency can cause fatigue and very dry skin.
Zinc, however, is necessary for cell growth, metabolism and hormones, as well as for the immune system.
Fibers in Hemp Protein
Organic Hemp protein is full of fiber and help with a functioning digestion.
It usually acts on indigestible food components, especially when the fiber comes from plant foods.
Nevertheless, they are important, because they are responsible for the cleaning of the intestine and also for good digestion.
Therefore, fiber hemp protein is excellently suitable as the fiber is especially high and thus keeps the gastrointestinal tract in balance.
No Trypsin Inhibitors and Oligosaccharides in Hemp protein
Trypsin inhibitors are often used to disrupt the digestive system of plant pests.
The problem, however, is that it can interfere with the human digestive system. Especially on soybeans, these are used often and can cause problems with digestion.
Trypsin inhibitors
Are contraindicated in hemp plants, however, it’s a big advantage.
Also, oligosaccharides are not present in the hemp protein, which can cause even an incompatibility in the human body.
Oligosaccharides is a multiple sugar that certain enzymes needed for digestion and to decompose carbohydrates.
Especially, to the people lacking this enzyme, it can come as the oligosaccharides are then deposited in the gut and may cause abdominal pain, bloating, or even diarrhea.
Oligosaccharides can be found in soy beans and legumes but not in hemp protein.
