Manitoba Harvest Hemp Protein Powder is a whole food protein powder rich in amino acids, Omega 6 and Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) and healthy dietary fiber.
This hemp based protein powder is cold milled from live hemp seed grown sustainably without the use of herbicides or pesticides. This ensures you receive a natural product without any poisonous material, and is safe to use every day.
Hemp is the oldest food known to mankind.
Hempseed oil contains 54.4% linoleic acid (Omega 6), 18.3% linolenic acid (Omega 3), 2-5% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and 1-2% stearidonic acid; and as such is one of only 4 oils to contain all these ingredients. Hemp oil is also the least expensive of the group.
Hemp's ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids is about 4:1 which mirrors the primitive diet the human race evolved on for 2.5 million years. This ratio of fatty acids has been shown to be beneficial for the prevention of heart disease and cancer, especially Omega 3 fatty acids.
The deeply soothing green color of hemp seeds and oil comes from their high chlorophyll content (yes, hemp is the green food of the New Millennium!). One of nature's seemingly miraculous substances, chlorophyll has been known to heal many conditions long thought incurable; its many healing properties have been a mystery that has so far eluded modern science. Incidentally, chlorophyll is also the main ingredient in wheat grass, another highly healing food that was discovered and promoted by the late Dr. Ann Wigmore.
