Higher Nature Omega Excellence Organic Cold Milled Hemp Protein

Tasty, raw, 100% certified Organic Cold Milled Hemp Protein is an exceptionally high €˜complete€™ protein food €“ more even than meat, fish, eggs, dairy and soya. It€™s easy to digest and cholesterol-free, too.

Protein is an essential dietary nutrient, made up of amino acids, which provides energy, supports muscle growth and renewal and contributes to bone health. Along with fibre, protein also helps manage appetite andweight by promoting a feeling of fullness after eating.

Protein is present in vegetables but is €˜incomplete€™, as vegetables do not contain all the essential amino acids so must be eaten together to make a €˜complete€™ protein. Hemp Protein is a €˜complete€™ proetin, so is an excellent alternative to animal, whey and soya.

Great for boosting protein intake and high in fibre. Ideal for vegans, vegetarians, people with active lifestyles, older people, dieters, when travelling and after illness. It also contains omegas 3,6,and 9, GLA and Iron.

Not suitable for cooking or baking.

Suggested Intake

Take 30g per day. Blend into drinks, smoothies and yoghurt, sprinkle over cereal and fruit, add to salad dressings, sauces, soups, desserts, cooked

pasta, rice and casseroles.

Nutrition and Allergy Advice

Does not contain
Sugar, salt, starch, soya, wheat, gluten, maize, corn, yeast, lactose, dairy products, artificial preservatives, colours or flavourings.

Vegetarian and vegan.

Suitable for Kosher and Halal diets.

Nutrient Levels
One 30g serving typically provides

15g Protein, 4.66g Fibre, 2700mg Polyunsaturates, 540mg Monounsaturates, 1980mg Linoleic acid (Omega 6 EFA), 720mg Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega 3 EFA), 540mg Oleic acid (Omega 9 FA), 120mg GLA, 2.7mg Iron.

Nutri L-Glutamine is a good high strength formula. L-Glutamine is not an essential amino acid but the body often needs more than it can synthesise especially when under increased physiological stress or illness. Glutamine is especially balancing for the support of mucous membranes in the GI tract and other tissues.

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid (protein building block) in the body and is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid.

Glutamine is a critical component of glutathione and supports the body€™s tissues against oxidative damage.

Glutamine is essential for DNA synthesis and replication.

Glutamine is the preferred fuel of small intestine enterocytes and is therefore vital to the health of the intestine as a whole.

Recommended Intake

2 capsules one to three times daily, half an hour before meals, or as directed.

Nutrition and Allergy Advice

The contents are vegetarian and vegan but the capsule is made from gelatin so vegetarians and vegans may prefer to break open the capsule and sprinkle the contents on food.

Cautions and Contraindications

Not recommended during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding

Each tablet provides 1000mg of hydrolysed bovine protein, supplying a balanced mixture of essential and non-essential amino acids, necessary for the body to produce structural proteins, transport proteins, enzymes, immunoglobulins, and peptide hormones.

Using a bovine tissue source supplies a complete protein, adequate to meet all of the body€™s essential amino acid needs for protein synthesis.

€¢ A bovine source for these amino acids ensures that they are in the natural laevorotatory (L-) form. The human body can only metabolise L-amino acids.

€¢ Amino acids function as the building blocks of proteins. Proteins have numerous functions:

- as structural components of the body (eg., muscle, collagen, connective tissue, cellular receptors, etc)
- as enzymes that catalyze all biochemical reactions in the body
- as transport proteins (eg., lipoproteins, haemoglobin, albumin, etc)
- as peptide hormones (eg., insulin, glucagons, thyroid, etc)
- and as immunoglobulins and cell recognition proteins.

Recommended Intake

6 tablets daily with food, or as directed.
