What is in Hemp Seed?


Hemp seeds contain up to 36% protein.

The protein in hemp seed is comprised of approximately 65% Edestin and can be found only in hemp seed protein.

Edestin aids digestion, is low in phosphorus and is considered the backbone of human cellular DNA.

Hemp protein contains all 20 known amino acids including the 8 essential and 2 semi- essential amino acids (EAA’s) our bodies cannot produce. Proteins are considered complete when they contain all 9 essential amino acids in a sufficient quantity and ratio to meet the body’s protein requirements.

No other single food source has the essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form, nor has the essential fatty acids in as perfect a ratio to meet human nutritional needs.

Hemp seed is an excellent source of calcium and iron. Whole hemp seeds are also a good source of phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese.

Hemp seed is gluten free and consequently will not trigger symptoms of celiac disease.

Hemp Seed Protein

Hemp Seed Protein


Hemp seeds are second only to soybean in protein content. Proteins serve a variety of functions in the human body such as acting as enzymes, antibodies, and the structural components of tissues, hormones and blood protein. The main function of dietary protein is to supply amino acids for the growth and maintenance of body tissue. Digestion disassembles proteins into their basic building blocks - the amino acids.

Hemp protein contains all 20 known amino acids including the 9 essential amino acids (EAAs) our bodies cannot produce. Proteins are considered complete when they contain all 9 essential amino acids in a sufficient quantity and ratio to meet the body's needs. Hemp seeds contain an adequate supply of these high quality proteins (EAAs) for a well balanced diet. Hemp protein is free of the tryspin inhibitors which block protein absorption and free of oligosaccharides found in soy, which cause stomach upset and gas.

Approximately 65% of the protein in hemp seeds is made up of the globulin protein Edestin and is found only in hemp seed. Edestin aids digestion, is relatively phosphorus-free and considered the backbone of the cell's DNA. The other one third of hemp seed protein is Albumin, another high quality globulin protein similar to that found in egg whites.

1,000,000 ARE LOOKING

Did you know that there are 1,000,000 people per month looking for hemp products online? This is amazing. When I found that out I realized that there is a huge opportunity to earn a substantial income online promoting hemp products. Not only is there opportunity to make money online and locally, there is a chance to be part of an amazing movement.

Why was hemp outlawed? Why did the government promote hemp growing during WWII and them make it illegal to grow? What is the real story about hemp? Some of you may not even know what hemp is. I would challenge you to go to TheHempResource to get an education and look at an opportunity that could change your life.

Hemp Seed is Natures Perfect Protein

Hemp protein is the gift of the vegetable world. Nowhere else in nature can someone get a more complete protein source from one place.

•Hemp seeds contain up to 36% protein.

•The protein in hemp seed is comprised of approximately 65% of Edestin and can be found only in hemp seed protein.

•Edestin aids digestion, is low in phosphorus and is considered the backbone of human cellular DNA.

•The other one third of hemp seed protein is Albumin, another high quality globulin protein similar to that found in egg whites.

•Since hemp seed protein is 65% globulin Edistin, and also includes albumin, its protein is readily available in a form quite similar to that found in blood plasma.

•Hemp protein contains all 20 known amino acids including the 8 essential and 2 semi-essential amino acids (EAA’s) our bodies cannot produce. Proteins are considered complete when they contain all 9 essential amino acids in a sufficient quantity and ratio to meet the body's protein requirements.

Hemp seed oil

may be nature's most perfectly balanced oil. It contains an ideal 3:1 ratio of omega-6's [linoleic acid] to omega-3's [alpha-linolenic acid] for long-term use, and provides the omega-6 derivative gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).

•No other single food source has the essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form, nor has the essential fatty acids in as perfect a ratio to meet human nutritional needs.

•Hemp seed is an excellent source of calcium and iron. Whole hemp seeds are also a good source of phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese.

•Hemp seed is gluten free and consequently will not trigger symptoms of celiac disease

•Hemp protein is also free of oligosaccharides found in soy, which cause stomach upset and gas.
