Ruth's Certified Organic Hemp Protein powder with Sprouted Flax contains: 67% certified organic Hemp and 33% certified organic Sprouted Flax. Ruth's Certified Organic Hemp Protein powder with Sprouted Flax and Maca contains: 50% certified organic Hemp, 33% certified organic Sprouted Flax, & 17% raw, certified organic Maca.

They're certified organic, contain all essential amino acids, and all essential fatty acids. Our two blends that contain Sprouted Flax are also bio-activated through active enzymes due to sprouting. There a potential for flax residues to be present in the 100% hemp protein powder is extremely low, as they share only a filling machine, which is cleaned between uses. The hemp protein itself is made on a different machine than the flax.

The suggested intake of our powders are: for the 100% hemp protein, you can have as much as you'd like a day; for the maca or sprouted flax, the suggested maximum is 1 - 2 servings per day (depending whether it's about 1 to 2 scoops per serving).

The nutritional info on our powder labels & website is for a serving of 30g, which is actually 2 heaping scoops (or 2 Tbsp), (this may appear incorrectly due to a printing error which will be corrected at the next re-printing). From the feedback we have received, it does seem a lot of people follow the instructions, use only one scoop and are achieving great results. You may want to experiment, and see what works best for you.

Emphatically, yes! Think seeds and oils, not Grateful Dead concerts. Hemp is commonly referred to as a "superfood" because of its amazing nutritional value. Hemp's amino acid profile dominates with its 8 essential amino acids (10 if you're elderly or a baby), making it a vegetarian source of "complete" protein. Hemp also comes naturally equipped with the World Health Organization's recommended ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids.

Hemp Protein is easily digested as it does not have enzyme inhibitors like grains, nuts and legumes. Soy protein contains high levels of enzyme inhibitors blocking the uptake of trypsin and other enzymes that the body uses for protein digestion. Eating a diet high in enzyme inhibitors, such as those contained in the foods mentioned, can result in chronic amino acid and protein deficiencies. Soy protein contains oligosaccharides which cause flatulence and stomach distress.
