Hemp protein comparison " Hempions

Proteins, also called proteins, have many advantages. Some of them are that they:

when losing weight and Help build muscle
Protect the heart
strengthen the immune system
regulate the blood sugar level

In this article we explain the advantages of hemp protein compared to other protein sources. We also explain the differences between Hempion's hemp protein Premium and High Fiber.

Overview

Why our body needs protein
Comparison between hemp protein and other protein sources
Differences between Hempions Hemp Protein High Fiber and Premium

Protein is the central building block of life

Proteins are the building materials for tissue (muscles, organs) and body cells. In addition, our body needs protein for the formation of hormones, enzymes and antibodies. Protein is important for concentration and memory because nerve cells and their communication channel (neurotransmitters) are formed from proteins. Because our cells are constantly renewing themselves, a sufficient protein intake is important for a healthy, efficient body.

Protein also boosts fat burning and metabolism. This is mainly because more calories are needed to burn protein than fats or carbohydrates.

The German Nutrition Society recommends:

Adults should take 0.8 g protein/kg body weight daily: at 75 kg body weight this is 60 g daily.
For children and people over 65, the recommendation is even about 1.0 g protein/kg body weight daily.
For athletes, the daily requirement increases individually to 2.0 g protein/kg body weight or more. The requirement is particularly high when new tissue, i.e. muscles, are to be built up.

Hemp protein compared with other protein sources

In addition to the amount of protein, the quality of the protein source is of course also decisive. Essential points here are the proportion of:

indispensable amino acids: protein components that the body cannot produce itself.
essential fats such as omega-3 and omega-6
Dietary fibre
Vitamins, minerals and other vital substances

Composition of hemp protein compared with other protein sources

In addition to the high proportion of essential amino acids, hemp protein also contains all other amino acids. The complete composition of protein components ensures that our body can absorb hemp protein very well. This is shown by a comparison of the biological value of different protein sources. A high value stands for better usability in the human body:

Whey protein: 104/100
Chicken Egg: 100/100
Hemp protein: 87/100
Pork 85/100
Soy protein 84/100
Pea protein 56/100

In addition, how easily the protein can be digested is very important. For example, soy protein contains substances that inhibit the digestion of protein (trypsin inhibitors).

Hemp protein is free of lactose or gluten and is very similar to the protein of the human body. Thus, even compared to other protein sources, a very easy digestibility and compatibility is guaranteed.

Depending on the origin, residues of pollutants and medicines may be present in protein sources, which is why we generally recommend organic protein sources.

Vital fatty acids and fibre in hemp protein

Omega fatty acids in hemp protein are important for the health and performance of the brain, bones and joints. They even help to stay healthy in old age and with mental problems such as depression or ADHD. In contrast, animal protein sources often contain unhealthy fats that promote cardiovascular disease, among other things.

In addition, vegetable protein sources are generally rich in fibre. Fibre is important for digestion and intestinal health - and thus supports a strong immune system.

Minerals in hemp protein

Hemp protein contains important vital substances, including:

Magnesium, which is important for cell structure. Without magnesium, the body cannot optimally process the supplied protein. Magnesium also supports muscle function and prevents cramps, for example.
Iron, which is necessary for blood formation.
Zinc, which is important for a strong immune system and defences.

The content of many minerals also ensures that hemp protein is basically digested alkaline.

Conclusion:

All in all, hemp protein is one of the most complete protein sources available to us. This is ensured by easily digestible, readily available protein as well as healthy fats, fibre and minerals (magnesium, iron, zinc). The multi-talent hemp protein thus replaces other food supplements.

Other sources of protein, however, do better in some respects.

A big advantage of hemp protein is that it is available regionally and in organic quality, which guarantees origin and quality.

Hempions Hemp Protein Comparison: Premium or High-Fiber

At Hempions, we have two hemp protein varieties in our range. This allows us to better meet individual needs.


	Hemp Protein Premium	Hemp Protein High Fiber
Production	from hulled hemp seeds	from unhulled hemp seeds
Protein content	56 g / 100 g	33 g / 100 g
Fibre content	12 g / 100 g	42 g / 100 g
Fat	23 g / 100 g	6.8 g / 100 g

Hemp protein Premium dissolves more easily in water. The fine, nutty taste is particularly convincing in shakes.

Hemp protein high fibre is absorbed more slowly by the body. It supports digestion due to its high fibre content and is not as soluble due to the shell components.

The nutrient absorption of hemp protein premium is optimal because there are no shell components. The phytic acid contained in the shell can inhibit the absorption of zinc, but on the other hand have an anti-cancer effect.
