What is Organic Hemp Peptide Powder?
Organic Hemp Peptide Powder is a bioactive hydrolysate derived from non-GMO industrial hemp seeds. Utilizing patented enzymatic hydrolysis, we break down native hemp proteins into low-molecular-weight (<2000 Da) peptide chains for superior bioavailability. Ideal for nutraceutical, clinical, and cosmeceutical applications requiring rapid absorption and targeted functionality.
Key Features

FAQs
Q1: How does hemp peptide differ from standard hemp protein?
A: Unlike conventional hemp protein (300-500kDa), our peptides are enzymatically processed into <2000 Da fragments, enabling:
• 3x faster intestinal absorption (Caco-2 cell model)
• 92% higher ACE-inhibitory bioactivity
• Zero sedimentation in liquid formulations
Q2: Are these peptides heat-stable for baked goods?
A: Yes. Testing confirms 98% peptide integrity after 30min at 180°C. Ideal for:
→ Protein-enriched bread (add 5-8% dough weight)
→ RTD beverage pasteurization
Q3: What certifications support your organic claims?
A: Full traceability via:
• USDA Organic Certificate #XXX (QR code accessible)
• EOARC 834/2007 compliance report
• Third-party GMO test (limit: 0.01%)
Q4: Can we request custom molecular weight profiles?
A: Available through our PeptideTailor service:
✓ Target MW range: 500-5000 Da
✓ Terminal amino acid sequencing (e.g., Pro-X hydrophobic ends)
✓ MOQ: 200kg (lead time 8 weeks)
Q5: Does the hydrolysis process generate MSG?
A: Strictly controlled:
• Glutamic acid content: <0.2% (vs. 1.2% in autolyzed yeast)
• No detectable monosodium glutamate (HPLC-ELSD validated)
Q6: What’s the recommended dosage for sports nutrition?
A: Clinically effective ranges:
• Muscle recovery: 10-15g pre/post workout
• Endurance support: 5g hourly during exercise
Q7: How is allergen cross-contamination prevented?
A: Our dedicated facility implements:
✓ Magnetic separation for seed cleaning
✓ Zone-based air filtration (ISO Class 7 cleanrooms)
✓ Allergen swab tests every 4hr during production
Q8: What packaging options ensure peptide stability?
A: Choose from:
• Standard: Nitrogen-flushed aluminized bags (12mo stability)
• Premium: Glass vials with oxygen scavengers (24mo stability)
• Bulk: 25kg drums with desiccant (humidity <5%)
Q9: Do you provide clinical trial support?
A: Yes, our Bioactive Partnership Program includes:
→ In vitro/in vivo study design
→ IRB-approved human trial protocols
→ Comparative data vs. collagen/soy peptides
Q10: What’s the carbon footprint per kilogram?
A: 2.1kg CO₂e/kg (verified by Carbon Trust):
• 78% reduction vs. whey peptide production
• Offset through our hemp farm reforecation initiative
