The Protein Scandal Report...

[breakthrough]

I have to admit I am very intrigued here. Check out the descriptions of the following products: DAMUSCLE.com: Bodybuilding Supplements -- Weight Loss Products and More! Discount Anabolics is now DA Muscle. Of course I would never buy from the source in the 1st post but there is definitely some interesting food for thought there.

Interesting site I found while making sure hemp products couldn't get you popped on a drug test: Hemp TestPledge

This is the type of thing that even if it was 100% true nobody would want to believe. Some of it did make sense though. Even if this stuff was used as an addition to a supp regimen rather than a replacement, I still see benefit to it with the high Omega and EFA content and such. The detox and cleansing aspect of it is especially interesting to me. Most people do not move their bowels nearly enough. You should be doing that once for every time you eat a meal and lots of people only do it once per day or less. Where is all that stuff going then? Nutrient absorption would have to be reduced because of this therefore hindering your progress. This made me remember that at my very leanest, on top of a strict diet and lots of cardio, I had also just completed a cleansing and detox program Called Colonix and Toxinout by Dr. Natura and it did make a big difference in the efficiency of my digestive system. So I would have to say that if hemp protein powder can do that for you, it's worth it just for that rather than as a source of nutrients which it also seems to be high in.

Hemp is the best none animal protein there is. I didn't buy into the extended belly theory being caused by whey. I do believe the suppliment companies have cheapened up everything from the days I started lifting. I won't buy anything premixed.

But even as a non animal protein, it is considered a "complete" protein because it consists of all twenty known amino acids, including those ten that are designated as essential for human health. I've actually been using it and when mixed with my casein and whey, it tastes pretty good. It's got a nutty flavor to it. It's very high in insoluble fiber to so it keeps things regular on a high protein diet.

hemp would be the only plant protein I would takeor even consider taking. I believe hemp is great like the way your taking it with other animal proteins, but I wouldn't use it for my sole protein source.

Me neither. I like it as an addition though. I need lots of fiber when consuming lots of protein and I can't think of a better source of fiber with all the additional nutritional benefits. I think Hemp owns that niche!

a lot of people neglect digestive enzymes. Hemp is a perfect food and should be in your diet, but when needing to put on large amounts of muscle beef is where it is at. steak and hemp shake

Bump the Colonix. It's a good cleanse. I had some scary lookin shit comin out the first time I ran that. The fiber has a nice banana flavor and the Kleri tea puts you to sleep at night and sends you running to the toilet first thing in the AM.

I've done at least half a dozen of em and the Dr. Natura products are by far superior to anything else but you pay a premiuim for it for sure. I felt so light, dry, clean and energized after that program. I would recommend it to anyone.

Yeah good shit. Pun intended. I still got some of the fiber and tea. I'm really about do for another mini cleanse. I also do kidney flushes and liver flushes. These can get clogged up too. I mean the hepa ducts and the little tubes in the kidneys...I forget what they're called but both can get clogged with debris. I use Baseline for these..

Herbal Formulas For Detoxing The Kidneys, Liver, Gallbladder And Blood

THey also sell proteolytic enzymes which can clean up debris circulating in the blood. Just navigate the site and you'll find em.

A lot of people think this stuff is hype. I know first hand it's not. I got results off the very first one I did that was $20. The Dr. Natura was a couple hunge but worth it. I use a product called Kidney Flush by Ion Labs right now. It's just an inexspensive product I buy at Vitamin Shoppe but I figure even if it's not the best it's better than nothing and I'm on Liv.52 (LiverCare) Year round too. I bought 6 pounds of hemp protein to see if I can see cleanse-like benefits from it as there is said to be. I know that since I've been using it, I don't even have to wipe my ass when I shit. Clean breaks I got mine from BB.com. The brand is Nutiva and it's inexpensive when bought in the 3lb size.

What about turkey and chicken? I think trueprotein sells hemp protein. You think it would be okay to make a hemp/whey blend? They also have a pea protein.

If you're going to blend it's probably a good idea to have a slower digesting protein involved such as Egg or Casein or both. I mix hemp, whey and casein in the same shake and it tastes great and covers all the bases pretty well. I use casein 3 times (1 scoop each time in my blend) during the day to ensure a constant delivery of protein all day. Morning, mid-day and before bed.

I cannot have any lactose in my shakes. Does casein have lactose? If so, I can do egg. So egg is slower? Good to know.

Whey=fast Egg=Medium Casein=Slow

Casein is a milk product as is Lactose. Casein doesn't contain lactose but they come from the same place. Lactose is the sugar and casein is the protein. You can be lactose intolerant but likely have no casein allergy. Or you could have both.

I've never tried the hemp protein but have tried pea protein and found it hard to digest. I do best with whey and buffer acidity with greens in the diet. If you want to know if you are chronicly acidic or not you can test your urine and saliva in the AM with PH test strips. You can buy them at any health food store.

Hemp is easily digestible because of its bio-available enzymes. Read this:Fitness Trainer Picks Hemp As Best Protein For Building Muscle | Nutiva Blog Good info

turkey and chicken are good too, but beef is king when it comes to protein.

Good call WW. This is what I do because before bed I'll use 2 scoops of casein and no whey. It's nice to have that flexibility.
