Protein formula

[milkshakeballa]

Hello all,

I have a question. I'm currently going to start taking a protein formula called Muscle Milk. I'm wondering if this might affect my P in a negative way? It uses Soy Milk not Cow milk, has 7 g of sugar, A LOT of vitamins which can't hurt though I'm starting the Psorcure and he says you can;t have any vitamin C. Can anybody give me some advice on this?

If you read the posts, you will find out that sugar is a common trigger for psoriasis. Also, soya is not the best for many. There is a protein powder made from hemp seed which has no sugar, etc. Just the ground organic seed. I take about 4 tablespoons in vegetable juice daily.

The history of hemp

Hemp, or Cannabis Sativa, is considered to be one of nature’s most nutritious, balanced and economically viable as well as versatile crops. It has been used for thousands of years and has over 40,000 recorded uses. Prior to 1880 hemp was the largest domesticated product in the world. Long-confused with its controversial cousin the Marijuana plant, industrial hemp is now becoming more and more commonly cultivated with only cross-fertilised seed (with negligible amounts of THC—tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana) being used.

Hemp is a remarkable plant with a myriad of ecological advantages. It grows quickly, six to sixteen ft tall in 70 to 110 days, shading out weeds and eliminating the need for costly herbicides. During the growing process Hemp pulls carbon out of the air (carbon sequestering) which enhances the quality of air we breathe. Hemp grows deep roots and when harvested the roots and leaves are left to replenish the soil making it arable year after year. Hemp is resistant to pests and therefore does not require the use of pesticides and fungicides. Hemp has never been a genetically modified crop. Every part of the plant is used—fibre, leaf and seed. One acre of hemp is equal to four acres of pulpwood trees.

Hemp has been used for thousands of years by many cultures as a source of sustenance and livelihood; as a food, medicine and raw material.

Hemp nutrition

To attain optimum health we must eat foods that contain live enzymes, active phyto-nutrients, vitamins, minerals, Essential Amino Acids, and Essential Fatty Acids.

These elements are termed “Essential” because the human body does not produce them. They must come from the food we eat. Hemp Seed is one of the plant kingdom’s most concentrated, complete and balanced sources of Essential Amino Acids and Essential Fatty Acids.

Hemp Seeds are rich in essential nutrients including chlorophyll, magnesium, potassium, sulphur, phytosterols, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, calcium, fibre, histidine, iron, potassium, phosphorus, riboflavin, niacin and thiamine.

Hemp Seed contains all 10 Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s), the building blocks of protein. Shelled Hemp Seed or Hemp Nut contains 34.6% pure digestible protein, providing readily available Amino Acids for building and repairing tissue. Hemp Seed Protein is comprised of 65% high quality Edestin Protein, the most potent protein of any plant source. The Globulin Edestin in Hemp Seed closely resembles the globulin in blood plasma, and is highly compatible with the human digestive system.

Hemp Seed Protein compared to soy, the most commonly used form of supplemental plant protein, has many advantages. Soy protein contains high levels of enzyme inhibitors blocking the uptake of trypsin and other enzymes the body uses for protein digestion. Eating a diet high in enzyme inhibitors, such as those contained in soy, can result in chronic amino acid and protein deficiencies.

Hemp Seed is rich in Omega 6 and Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) as well as being one of the few plant source of GLAs.

EFAs are utilised by many of the body's systems to maintain proper tissue function. EFAs are required for energy production, effective functioning of the nervous system, brain development and function, skin health and elasticity, digestive efficiency, normal cardiovascular function, hormone production, and effective immune response.

Due to the popular misconception that fat is “bad” for the body, many people have adopted a low or no fat diet. Low and no fat coupled with the widespread consumption of processed and genetically modified foods have created EFA deficiencies. Leading researchers are finding significant links between EFA deficiencies and disease. Supplementation with EFAs is an integral part of a complete nutritional program.

The vital issue with Hemp Seed, as with any food, is the processing. Traditional processing methods cannot maintain the exceptional nutritional value of Hemp Seed Protein.

A proprietary cold processing method created by Living Harvest is used to make our Hemp Protein Powder, this keeps enzymes, phyto-nutrients, vitamins and minerals intact. The development of this proprietary process maintains the integrity of the Hemp Seed Protein and it is what makes our Hemp Protein Powder stand out above the rest.

Our Hemp seed is whole, live, organically grown, non-GM and contains 0.000% THC.

Hemp...

BOOSTS IMMUNE SYSTEM & INCREASES ENERGY LEVELS: Hemp is the highest vegan source of Edestin, a simple protein that is responsible for the natural and acquired immune system. All of our Hemp products are raw, containing live enzymes that help you digest your food, increase your energy, boost your immunity and help your body function at its best.

DETOXIFIES THE BODY & REDUCES JUNK FOOD CRAVINGS: Hemp is high in the natural antioxidants Vitamin E, Vitamin C and chlorophyll. In addition, Hemp is a whole food containing complete and cholesterol-free protein. Proper protein intake is important in balancing our blood sugar, thus reducing cravings for sugar and other quick energy junk foods.

BURNS FAT & BUILDS MUSCLE: Hemp is recognized by the World Health Organization as having a perfect 3:1 balance of Omega 6 to Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids for optimum health. These fats stimulate the body's natural thermogenic system which actually burns fat. The Essential Fatty Acids in Hemp also help muscle recovery and growth.

EASY TO DIGEST & NON-ALLERGENIC: Hemp does not contain gluten and is free of the enzyme inhibitor found in soy and other legumes and grains which prevent protein absorption and typically cause gas, bloating and other digestion problems. In addition, there are no known allergies to hemp.
