Why is GOOD HEMP good for me
Milk drinkers: GOOD HEMP is low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free in comparison to cow’s milk. It is allergen-free while cow’s milk is largely associated with lactose intolerance and stomach discomfort. Also a good natural source of omega 3 (one glass gives 50% of the daily recommended allowance of Omega 3). Like Milk, it can be used in tea, coffee, cereals or for cooking.
Seniors: GOOD HEMP is a good source of omega 3 (one glass gives 50% of the daily recommended allowance of Omega 3), which can support human health for joints, cholesterol, hair & skin and immune health. It is allergen-free while cow’s milk is largely associated with lactose intolerance.
Mothers: GOOD HEMP is an easy way to get kids to increase their intake of omega 3 (one glass gives 50% of the daily recommended allowance of Omega 3). Omega 3 contributes to brain development with kids. The taste is creamy and nutty so kids like it.
Lactose and/or soya intolerants: GOOD HEMP is allergen-free while cow’s milk is largely associated with lactose intolerance and stomach discomfort. It is a good alternative to milk as is enriched with calcium and vitamins. Soya can also cause digestive problems in many. GOOD HEMP is easy to digest. Use just like a milk.
GOOD HEMP was highly commended during the Free From Food Awards 2011 in the Dairy-free category.
Vegans/vegetarians: GOOD HEMP is dairy-free and soya-free (soya is linked to some intolerances and digestibility issues). It is a good source of omega 3 (one glass gives 50% of the daily recommended allowance of Omega 3), which is important as vegans/vegetarians are lacking in sources. Because it contains a more potent and more digestible form of Omega 3 than flaxseed, linseed or rapeseed, it is perfect for Veggies and Vegans. Made from one of the world’s sustainable plants in the UK.
