Ruth's Hemp Protein with Sprouted Flax & Maca
Being vegetarian, I have been looking for a good source of Omega 3's, so I've been trying out different hemp protein powders. Most have actually been really good, but last month I found one that offers the hemp protein/omegas with sprouted flax and maca:

It tastes pretty good for a no additive/filler protein powder, but those who can only stomach a vanilla or chocolate flavored drink will have to add something to it. I mix it with almond milk and kefir (pasteurized until I stop being lazy and grow my own). I've been using this shake to ween myself off my AM granola (love granola), and it's earthy/gritty taste is something I've found myself actually preferring on some mornings.

I am in the same boat but I use the neuromins from source naturals. The DHA will back convert to EPA at around 16% according to a study on pubmed. The ALA in flax only convert to DHA/EPA at a 1-3% rate. There is also a product from water4life that is an algae based EPA/DHA but your wallet will take a beating.

I did want to mention that I am huge fan of Ruth's Hemp products and buy them in bulk from amazon. If you are very athletic and can spare the greenbacks I would check into Sunwarrior's products. They make a great Rice Protein powder that goes great in a cacao shake.

I took V-Pure for months, which is also algae-based, but it didn't agree with me. For some reason, I have a hard time digesting that stuff; Salmon oil capsules were the same for me when I was eating meat. Are the Source Naturals Neuromins similar in composition. None of this stuff is cheap...sublime9 wrote:I am in the same boat but I use the neuromins from source naturals. The DHA will back convert to EPA at around 16% according to a study on pubmed.

What about this? Any idea on the conversions?
