Hemp protein: plant-based protein powder
Hemp protein is a plant-based protein source derived from hemp seeds and used in protein powder supplements. It provides an alternative to dairy-based proteins and can be suitable for vegan and plant-based diets or for anyone looking to diversify their protein sources.
In this category you can compare hemp protein powders from different sports nutrition brands, checking protein per serving, ingredients, nutrition information, available sizes and directions for use.
What is hemp protein?
Hemp protein is produced from hemp seeds, which are processed to obtain a powder with a concentrated protein component. Protein content and overall nutritional composition can vary between products and formulations.
For this reason, always check the nutrition information of the specific product and compare protein per serving, ingredients and the other nutrients provided by the formula.
Hemp protein as a plant-based protein source
Hemp is one of the protein sources available within our plant-based and vegan protein range. Other options include pea protein, rice protein and soy protein, as well as blends combining several plant sources.
These protein sources differ in nutritional composition, texture and flavour. The right choice therefore depends on the individual product, your diet and your personal preferences.
How to choose hemp protein powder
When comparing hemp protein products, consider:
- protein per serving: check the amount provided by the manufacturer's recommended serving;
- protein concentration: useful for comparing different products and formulations;
- ingredients: check the complete ingredient list and any additional components;
- nutrition information: compare carbohydrates, fats and fibre as well as protein;
