Hemp protein (from Cannabis sativa seeds) is 65% edestin protein — the most easily digestible plant protein. PDCAAS of 0.63 (lower than soy/pea). Contains all essential AAs but low in lysine and leucine. Rich in omega-3/6 (ideal ratio), fiber, and minerals. The main advantage: easily digestible with no anti-nutrients (no trypsin inhibitors like soy). For protein synthesis: inferior to whey/pea due to low leucine. For overall nutrition: excellent whole-food protein. --- *Reviewed by the Dose AI Research Team and Clinical Advisory Board* *Last updated: 2026-04-06*
