Hemp Protein & Hemp Oil

[Titan]

Is anybody sitting on a little compare and contrast information on hemp protein and hemp oil vs whey protein and flax/linseed oil?

[Missy]

hmm hemp protein?

All I know is regarding the omega acids is that they should be the correct ratios.
Linseed is great for omega 3. Not tried hemp. I take combined pills.

For vegetatians.

Do you know of a supplier here in Europe? Of the nutritional kind. LOL.

I have seen it in supermarkets here in the UK. I'll see what I can find online.

Sorry, not up on the hemp as it isn't a big thing here in the State. However, just so you know that flax and hemp oil must be converted to EPA/DHA to make available for the body. Unfortunately it has a very low conversion rate. I think Flax oil is fantastic but I think it should be the secondary choice of EFA's and that Fish oil, which is all EPA/DHA and no need of conversion, is much better choice for Omega 3 FA. That is why I take mostly Fish oil (10-15 caps) and a teaspoon or 5 caps of Flax/Borage Oil per day.

Bought a bottle of Hemp oil today. Will see how it goes.

A shot glass in the mornings before my jog perhaps. I dont do tablespoons... just shot glasses. Cos I got plenty of shot glasses laying around.

Its got Omega 3, 6 and 9 according to the guy behind the counter. He said it doesnt cross 'into the blood' like Fish oils (didnt get this properly as I was majorly hungover this morning when I bought it.)

curezone.org has plenty of health info, although it doesn't have the best search engine for searching the site, and the forums are old school. if you read through there you might eventually bump onto something about hemp
