Manitoba Harvest Organic Hemp Protein Vanilla - 16 Oz.

Manitoba Harvest Organic Hemp Protein Powder — Vanilla | 16 oz

Hemp protein stands apart from most plant proteins because of edestin — the major storage protein of hemp seed, a globulin-type protein that closely resembles human blood plasma proteins in structure and is among the most digestible plant proteins available. Manitoba Harvest's hemp protein delivers approximately 15g of protein per 3-tablespoon serving, alongside the naturally occurring omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from the hemp seed itself in an approximately 3:1 omega-6:omega-3 ratio — considered optimal for minimizing the pro-inflammatory effects of excess omega-6 common in most plant oils. The protein also contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete plant protein. One honest note for athletes focused on muscle protein synthesis: hemp has a relatively lower leucine content than whey or pea protein (leucine is the primary trigger for mTOR activation and downstream muscle protein synthesis at the cellular level). Hemp protein is better suited as a daily nutritional staple and whole-food protein than as an acute post-workout muscle-building supplement. For general daily protein intake, digestive tolerance, and anti-inflammatory nutrition, it is an excellent choice. USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan. 16 oz.

Key Benefits

• Edestin (Hemp's Unique Globulin Protein): The major storage protein in hemp seed — a globulin-type protein structurally similar to human plasma proteins; highly digestible and hypoallergenic compared to whey, soy, or pea
• Optimal 3:1 Omega-6:Omega-3 Ratio: Hemp's naturally occurring fatty acids provide omega-6 and omega-3 in approximately the 3:1 ratio considered ideal for balancing the inflammatory/anti-inflammatory signaling from these competing pathways
• Complete Amino Acid Profile: Contains all nine essential amino acids; ~15g protein per serving — suitable as a daily protein source for general nutrition
• Honest Caveat for Athletes: Lower leucine content than whey or pea protein — leucine is the primary mTOR/muscle protein synthesis trigger; hemp is ideal as a daily nutritional staple rather than a post-workout muscle builder
• High Fiber: Naturally occurring insoluble and soluble fiber supports digestive regularity and microbiome diversity
• USDA Certified Organic | Non-GMO | Gluten-Free | Vegan | Vanilla Flavor
