It's pretty low in BCAA compared to whey. I've use it (with raw milk and eggs) to replace a meal here and there, but not to replace whey. I've also used the whole hemp powder, it contains about 25% fiber, 50% protein and some n3 & n-6. Pretty complete, but doesn't taste good.

It does have all the Essential Amino Acids . One of the only plant based proteins that do. I've never tried it but i have heard it is easier on the stomach then other protein powders.

Interesting.Somewhere on the horizon are days of less meat.

True it's easy on the stomach!

The rice protein also has a very good amino acid profile and ~19% BCAA

Hemp : ~8% BCAA

Whey CFM : ~20% BCAA

I wonder if this is strain dependent.:)

i used it for a long time as additional fibre in my diet. it tastes like sand but does help with poos.

i now just use psyllium from bulk barn for a fraction of the cost.

We are planning on a vegan line very soon, but swaying more towards rice and pea as they show to be superior material in terms of bioavailability and content.

Will these be flavored or natural? Just curious if you guys are going to have a naturally sweetened line in the future?
