Hemp Protein

My sister just told me about hemp protein that she picked up and the bulk barn today. I was wondering if anyone Knows anything about it or has tried it.

She said it costs less but I have no idea how it compares to other protein and if it is good post-op. Any information would be great.

Thanks

Lisa

I am not sure if any studies have been done on how well it absorbs with wls. Whey protein is usually consider to have the best absorption for us

Thanks so much. I think I will wait until more studies are done before I try it.

You would have to post the nutritional stats to know if it's okay or not. I do know people (vegan) who use hemp protein but I've never tried it myself to know how it tastes. You're looking for high protein (at least 25g), low carb (less than 7 or so), low/no sugar, low calorie (like 160 or less).

Thanks, she didn't give me any stats. She just saw it at bulk barn yesterday.

You've got me curious now, I'll check it out next time I'm there. lol

I WAS TOLD TODAY WHEY PROTEIN IS THEIR RECOMENDATION FOR US AS IT WORKS THE BEST FOR OUR SURGERY

Thanks, yes I understand whey protein is best absorbed post-op and I drink premier protein shakes and just love them. I guess I was just curious about the hemp protein because I never heard of it and my sister is going to start drinking it in her morning shakes. She asked me if I knew anything about it and I told her I would ask the pros... so here I am.

Hi Lisa, I looked it up on the Bulk Barn site:

Its always been recommended that plant-based proteins are incomplete and that we need to accompany them with a complete protein to get the benefit.
