Hemp Seed Oil
As the name suggests the Hemp seed oil is extracted from the hemp plant. But unlike CBD oil which is extracted from the flowers and buds of the hemp plant, the hemp seed oil is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant.
The Hemp seeds have several benefits that make them a superior source of daily nutrients:
25% of the total calories are high quality protein
65% of the protein in hemp seed is edestin, a protein that helps your immune system to properly function. 35% of the protein is albumin, which helps the protein get easily assimilated into the body. Hemp offers a great alternative protein if you are allergic to dairy.
Hemp seeds offer all 10 Essential Amino Acids
There are 8 amino acids that the human body cannot make and 2 more the body cannot make in sufficient quantity. Hemp offers all these essential amino acids in its seed.
Balanced ratio of Essential Fatty Acids
Hemp offers a naturally balanced 1:3 ratio of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). EFAs are responsible for strengthening your immune system.
Hemp seeds are nutritionally superior to flax, chia, or fish Oil
Hemp contains both GLA (gamma linolenic acid) and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). GLA is a fatty acid that has anti-inflammatory properties. CLA is a building block of cell membranes. It also offers more protein than Flax & Chia.
Source of vitamins and minerals
Hemp seeds are a great source of vitamin E and minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulphur, calcium, iron and zinc.
Great source of dietary fibre
Hemp seeds offer 17g of fibre per serving, while a serving of hemp protein also contains 8-11g of fibre. Hemp is a great way to add fibre to your daily diet.
Fights bad cholesterol levels & blood clots
Studies have suggested that hemp seed and hemp seed oil can help break down cholesterol as well as fight blood clots, which are typically caused by high cholesterol levels.
Helps improve various skin conditions
Clinical trials have shown that the Omega-3 and Omega-6 found in hemp oil help dry skin and are beneficial for the treatment of conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. While eating healthy can be great for your skin, hemp oil and hemp-based products may be even more beneficial when used directly in skin care.
