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

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, 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.

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.
