Dee Dine Dee Dine Nutrition & Vegan Food Specialist Expert Answer Hemp protein powder offers many nutritional benefits. It offers a complete protein, which provides your body with essential support to skin, hair, bones, and major organs including the brain. Hemp is also useful for weight control as it helps regulate the metabolism and keeps blood sugar levels balanced. Finally, hemp protein also is full of antioxidants that boost the immune system, essential minerals that support all body functions, and digestion-supporting fiber. It is also high in unsaturated fats, which are healthy for the heart. Thanks! We're glad this was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.

  • Question How much hemp can a person eat? Community Answer Community Answer Treat it like any food and you will be okay. Even with the strains containing THC, the amount you would need to consume in one sitting to be toxic to you body far surpasses what you'd actually be able to eat. Just keep the nutritional content (fiber, etc.) in mind like you would anything else you were consuming. Thanks! We're glad this was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.
