A hemp protein product, which may be an isolate, produces solutions at low pH values and is useful for the fortification of soft drinks and sports drinks without precipitation of protein. The hemp protein product is obtained by extracting a hemp protein source material with an aqueous calcium salt solution to form an aqueous hemp protein solution, separating the aqueous hemp protein solution from residual hemp protein source, adjusting the pH of the aqueous hemp protein solution to a pH of about 1.5 to about 4.4 to produce an acidified hemp protein solution, which may be dried, following optional concentration and diafiltration, to provide the hemp protein product.
