Whey protein is the most popular type of protein supplement available today. Produced as a byproduct from milk coagulation (to make cheese or yoghurt), whey has a high protein content. But
how does Whey compare with Hemp Protein?
Whey Protein Side Effects & known issues
Protein: slow digestion vs. fast digestion
Whey protein is rapidly digested, making it a good product to take after heavy exercise, as it is quickly utilised by the body. Hemp protein is slow digesting, making it
ideal for supplementation between meals and before bedtime.
Whey Protein with artificial ingredients and sweeteners
It is important to note that, unlike GOOD Hemp Nutrition range, most whey protein supplements are mixed with artificial ingredients and sweeteners in order to make it more palatable. These additional ingredients can detract from weight loss goals, cause sugar craving and suppress immune function.
Allergies and intolerances to Whey
Whey protein causes digestive disturbances and bloating in people who are lactose intolerant. Do not use whey protein if you have a milk allergy. There have been
no allergies or intolerances associated with hemp and hemp protein.
