And yet another reason why this plant is sooo AMAZING ❣️

LIFE-SAVING PLASMA MADE FROM H**P SEED! Czech scientists came up with a very interesting project Plasma for People in 2019, which has the potential to change global healthcare in the future. His aim is to launch an organic blood plasma replacement. The basic ingredient is edestine, i.e. protein obtained from h**p seed. For years they has been using it for the treatment of tuberculosis in children. The project is currently in preparation phase of a clinical study. Artificial blood plasma based on edestine can be produced about ten times cheaper and also brings many other benefits - it cannot be contaminated by prion diseases, HIV or hepatitis, and it can also be given to patients who, religious or ethical, do not allow the use of blood plasma obtained from donors. Organic blood plasma will last much longer and do not have to be stored under specific conditions like frozen human plasma.
Commercial h**p seeds (for human consumption) contain on average 30-35% proteins, of which 60-80% is edestine (the rest is albumin). A specific strain of Korean h**p Cheungsam was proposed for use as an "excellent antioxidant nutrient", because it contains 2,2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical capture activity. Edestin is a globular protein (biologically active) as opposed to fiber protein (structural). It is similar to serum globulin (blood plasma) and the biologically active protein edestine is metabolized in the human body. It is capable of biosynthesis for: hormones (which regulate all processes in the body), hemoglobin (which transport oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide), enzymes (which catalyze and control biochemical reactions) and antibodies (immunoglobulins that prevent the attack of bacteria, pathogens, as well as toxins or antigens when entering the body). Edestin also has a unique ability to stimulate the manufacturing process of antibodies against invasive substances and contains a low-bearing phosphorus content (kidney disease, etc.).

Super cool 😎

In Canada, a revolutionary prototype car has been built entirely from h**p and powered by algae oil — a fully biodegradable vehicle that merges sustainability with sleek engineering. The body panels, interior elements, and even structural components are crafted from h**p-based biocomposites, offering strength comparable to fiberglass but with a fraction of the environmental impact. Unlike metal, these materials are renewable, non-toxic, and decompose naturally without polluting the earth.

Under the hood, the engine runs on algae oil — a biofuel extracted from fast-growing microalgae that absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. Unlike traditional fossil fuels, algae-based fuels emit dramatically less CO₂ and can be produced using non-arable land and wastewater, making them a standout solution in the clean energy race. Together, h**p and algae form a duo that’s not just green, but regenerative.

The car, although still in experimental phases, has already been tested and praised for its performance and comfort. It drives smoothly, accelerates well, and handles just like any standard vehicle. But unlike standard vehicles, it leaves behind no toxic residues, no long-lasting waste, and almost no net carbon emissions.

This Canadian innovation pushes the boundaries of what a truly sustainable car can be — one that grows from nature, runs on renewable bio-oil, and returns harmlessly to the earth. It's not just a car, it’s a glimpse into the future of circular design and carbon-negative mobility.

A few facts!!!

23/07/2025

While h**p is approved as feed for laying hens, it took many years of research and regulatory hurdles to get there. Sadly, most animals are still waiting. When ingredient rules were created in 1958, h**p was banned—meaning it wasn’t grandfathered in. That’s why we’re pushing for an exemption for companion animals to open markets while the required studies continue for livestock.
