I have been taking Hemp Protein powder and
Hemp Oil on/off for a year. Easy on digestion,
contains a good ratio of fatty acids, (GLA, ALA, SDA & LA),
all essential amino acids, and proteins. immune-modulation,
restorative, does not contain trypsin, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9,
potassium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, phosphorus and
magnesium.

Abstract
The macronutrient composition and the quality of protein of hemp seed and products derived from hemp seed grown in Western Canada were determined. Thirty samples of hemp products (minimum 500 g), including whole hemp seed, hemp seed meal from cold-press expelling, dehulled, or shelled, hemp seed and hemp seed hulls, were obtained from commercial sources. Proximate analysis, including crude protein (% CP), crude fat (% fat) and fiber, as well as full amino acid profiles, were determined for all samples. Protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) measurements, using a rat bioassay for protein digestibility and the FAO/WHO amino acid requirement of children (2-5 years of age) as reference, were conducted on subsets of hemp products. Mean (±SD) percentage CP and fat were 24.0(2.1) and 30.4(2.7) for whole hemp seed, 40.7(8.8) and 10.2(2.1) for hemp seed meal, and 35.9(3.6) and 46.7(5.0) for dehulled hemp seed. The percentage protein digestibility and PDCAAS values were 84.1-86.2 and 49-53% for whole hemp seed, 90.8-97.5 and 46-51% for hemp seed meal, and 83.5-92.1 and 63-66% for dehulled hemp seed. Lysine was the first limiting amino acid in all products. Removal of the hull fraction improved protein digestibility and the resultant PDCAAS value. The current results provide reference data in support of protein claims for hemp seed products and provide evidence that hemp proteins have a PDCAAS equal to or greater than certain grains, nuts, and some pulses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To study the effects of Hemp seeds protein (HSP) on antifatigue and immunnomodulation effect in mice.
METHODS:
Female ICR mice at the ages of 6-8 weeks were administered with the HSP for 4 weeks at the dose of 1.32, 2.64 and 7.92 g/kg bw. After four weeks' treatment, the mice swimming time and some hiochemistry indexes were tested, such as blood lactic acid, BUN and hepatic glycogen, as well as the ratio of spleen and thymus organs index, the capacities of lymphocyte proliferation induced by ConA, DTH response, IgM-PFC number, the level of serum HC50, the indexes of the chicken red blood cells phagocytosis and the clearance rate of carbon particles were detected, and the ratio of CD4+ T helper (Th) cell in spleen were determined by the flow cytometer.
RESULTS:
In comparison with the control group, the HSP could improve the the swimming time and contents of liver hepatin distinctly, and reduced the contents of blood lactic acid. Then the capacities of lymphocyte proliferation induced by ConA, DTH response, IgM-PFC number, the level of serum HC50, the indexes of the clearance rate of carbon particles and the ratio of CD4+ T helper (Th) cell in spleen increased.
CONCLUSION:
HSP could have the ability of antifatigue and improve the immunomodulation effect in mice.www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18589601
