Hemp Protein Powder

Just something I tried and found to be actually good!

I am using the PF low carb MRP along with the PF MRP through out my day and on the days that I don't work out my ratio is 3/2 low carb, but the low carb MRP does not hold me long enough so a friend suggested that I add some Hemp protein to it.

It was perfect the fiber and added protein from the Hemp made up for what I was lacking.

Hemp protein still has some questions that need to be answered about it. Mainly the PDCAA or the biological value. Any protein can look good on paper but just how good the body can get the nitrogen from the protein is what counts. We used to carry hemp protein, but once we became a FDA registered and inspected facility I didnt want to bring in hemp protein. Even though it was THC certified free, it would cause me huuuuge headaches with the boys from D.C.

Hemp looks really, really good on paper but just how digestible the powder is nobody knows yet.

Every time I've used it, it had a laxative effect. I'd just add some glucomannan and whole organic egg or casein instead.

I wasn't thinking it was more protein I needed because with 5 shakes a day I'm getting 170 g of protein (maybe that's not enough? I weigh 133 lbs) and that doesn't include my real food dinner.

But the PF low carb only has 4 carbs and 1 fiber so I was thinking if I add more fiber and a bit more carbs....

"The new 111th Congress is now in session we need your Congressional representative to consider becoming an original cosponsor for the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009, which will allow farmers in the U.S. to once again have the opportunity to grow this valuable agricultural crop.

The message that you will send to them is specifically written to educate their staff, who actually read and reply to letters and emails from constituents, about agricultural hemp. Thank you very much for taking the time to write!"
