Hemp protein

Tier 2 — promising · Plant protein · Omega fatty acids · Fibre

A complete plant protein containing all 9 essential amino acids, though lower in leucine than whey or pea protein. Also provides omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids plus fibre. Earthy taste that some people find challenging. Less studied for muscle building than pea or soy protein. Does not contain CBD or THC in meaningful amounts. Very safe and suitable for all dietary preferences.

Dose: 25–50 g/day; lower leucine than whey — less optimal for muscle protein synthesis; add leucine if needed
