The end result is a delicious, smooth full-flavored low acidity coffee with a nutty aftertaste.

Why hemp? It's simple: protein and omegas! Hemp foods are rich in protein and have all 9 essential amino acids. They also contain omega-3, omega-6, stearidonic acid (SDA), and the rare omega-6 Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA). What's so great about GLA? Well, GLA has been shown to help with cholesterol, inflammation, skin and hair health, balancing hormones, and general heart health. Plus if that wasn't enough, hemp foods also contain magnesium, fibre, iron, zinc, and phosphorous.

Caffeine can be used effectively as an ergogenic aid when taken in moderate doses, such as during sports when a small increase in endurance performance can lead to significant differences in placements as athletes are often separated by small margins. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29876876/

The intake of a low/moderate dose of caffeine before and/or during exercise can improve self-reported energy, mood, and cognitive functions, such as attention; it may also improve simple reaction time, choice reaction time, memory, or fatigue, however, this may depend on the research protocols. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33800853/

The current study suggests the plausible antioxidant and anti-inflammatory role of hempseed lipid fractions (HEMP) in alleviating pathophysiological conditions including fatty liver disease, where oxidative stress and inflammation are key mediators. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32685737/

Hempseed protein could have the ability to antifatigue and improve the immunomodulation effect in mice. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18589601/

Hempseed has an excellent content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These compounds have beneficial effects on our cardiovascular health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20409317/ 

Recently, hemp seeds and derived oil have started to be used in various food products. Hemp-based food products are considered less allergenic than those from other edible seeds. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30599980/

A current study demonstrates that the anti-hypercholesterolemic effects of hempseed are mediated through redox-sensitive modulation of inflammatory pathways. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31668458/
