Protein is essential for human health, and should be eaten every day. The body doesn't synthesise all the proteins required for cellular function and maintenance, and that's why it is essential to consume proteins as part of your diet.

VitaHemp+ Power Blend provides complete, balanced and natural protein from hemp seed, as well as a range of phyto-nutrients from nutritious superfoods and herbs. It is also high in dietary fibre, which is beneficial for a healthy colon and stable blood sugar levels. It beats single-ingredient protein powders hands-down!

VitaHemp+ Power Blend is not restricted to those trying to achieve specific health goals - it makes a great addition to the diet of the whole family! Support your nutrient intake every day, quickly and easily, with a shake that is packed not only with first-class protein, but vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omega oils and other phyto-nutrients too! Ideal support for the immune system, energy levels, health and vitality.

VitaHemp+ Power Blend is rich in omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids that promote energy production and strengthen the immune system, as well as phytosterols which are cholest rol fighting compounds and contains easily digested proteins such as albumin and edestin. With soluble and insoluble fibre, it helps the body eliminate toxins through the loss of fat, contributing to a healthy balanced diet.

VitaHemp+ Power Blend is incredibly resourceful in the kitchen. It can be added into a range of recipes to get the most out of its nutrients.

VitaHemp+ Power Blend is essential for health because it is composed of chains of amino acids, which are essentially the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids provide the components for haemoglobin (which carries oxygen in the blood), antibodies to fight infection, a large number of hormones, and enzymes which enable all the chemical reactions inside cells.

Unlike fats and sugars, proteins are not stored by the human body, but are rather used up in cellular processes. If we do not get the required amount of protein each day, our bodies will actually break down muscle tissue to make up the shortfall.

• Hemp seed contains all nine essential amino acids
  • Of the twenty amino acids we need, nine are classed as 'essential'. These are the ones our bodies cannot synthesise from other amino acids and metabolic processes. This is why they must be consumed as part of our diet. Hemp seed contains significant amounts of all nine essential amino acids, making it the perfect way to ensure your body is getting the right nutrition on a daily basis.
• Hemp seed contains more useable protein per gram than almost all other foods
  • Hemp seed contains 25 grams of protein per 100 grams. This is higher than all other plant sources, and higher than or equivalent to almost all meat and fish.
• VitaHemp+ Power Blend does not contain trypsin inhibitors
  • Trypsin is a digestive enzyme which is secreted by the pancreas as trypsinogen. The essential function of trypsin is to break down proteins in the small intestine so that the body can use all the available amino acids and other nutrients it contains. Trypsin inhibitors block the function of this enzyme, so less protein is broken down and digested. Hemp seed is rare among food protein sources in that it does not contain trypsin inhibitors, so all of the protein and essential amino acids it contains are available to the body. Meat, nuts, soy, lima beans and raw egg white all contain trypsin inhibitors.
• VitaHemp+ Power Blend contains easily digestible protein
  • Not all foods contain easily digestible protein. Nuts and legumes contain phytic acid, which may render certain proteins in the same foods indigestible. It also blocks the absorption of zinc and iron, which are also essential for good health (and found in hemp seed!). Beans, though good sources of protein, contain saponins, which are a form of antinutrient much like phytic acid. They, too, can interfere with nutrient transport and protein digestion. All in all, hemp seed – which contains edestin and albumin, two high-quality proteins – is unquestionably one of the easiest proteins to digest.
• Hemp seed contains the perfect 2.5:1 balance of essential fatty acids
  • Hemp seed and hemp seed oil are generous sources of the essential fatty acids linoleic acid, commonly known as omega-6, and alpha-linoleic acid, also called omega-3. As with the essential amino acids mentioned above, they are classified as 'essential' because they are indispensable for heath, yet cannot be created by the human body and must be a part of our diet.
• Hemp seed farming is beneficial to the environment
  • Much has been written about the benefits of farming hemp: it requires less water, fertilizers and pesticides than other food crops. It improves the soil for the following crops instead of depleting it, and it can lock in large amounts of carbon both while growing and when used in products for the building and textile industry.
• Hemp seed is free of contaminants and additives
  • Hemp seed and hemp oil are advantageous in that what you see is what you get! Hemp seeds do not require preservatives or processing in order to be packaged and sold. This means hemp seeds almost never contain additives, and it is much less likely that they contain contaminants.
