Hemp Seed Oil 1,000mg

This true super-food contains ‘Essential Fatty Acids’ (EFA’s) crucial for healthy circulation, cell growth and immunity.

Hemp Seed Oil contains the perfect balance of Omegas 3 (Alpha Linolenic Acid), 6 (Linoleic Acid) and 9 (Gamma Linolenic Acid) for optimum absorbance into the body. These three are building blocks of the more famous fatty acids ‘EPA’ and ‘DHA’ and are collectively known as ‘Essential Fatty Acids’ (EFA’s). They are called ‘essential’ because they can’t be produced by the body and are therefore essential in the diet. The best sources of these oils are fresh fish (such as mackerel and cod) and grains and seeds, but unfortunately these are often lacking in the diet.

Throughout history, the hemp plant has proved to be a valuable resource to humans. Whilst some parts of the plant have been exploited as a mind-altering drug, other non-psycho-active parts of the plant have been used for more constructive purposes. Civilisations have made clothes and rope from it and have even used its seeds and oil as part of their staple diet. This oil is in fact the principal product made from hemp today and as the most unsaturated oil derived from the plant kingdom, it has been described as ‘a nutritionist’s dream’ and ‘nature’s most perfectly balanced oil.’

By reducing the likelihood of blood clots and improving cholesterol levels, these oils (particularly Omega 3) are ideal for helping heart health. They also have anti-inflammatory properties making them useful for people with arthritis and weak immune systems. As Hemp Seed Oil contains GLA (which is also the active ingredient in Evening Primrose Oil) it may help sufferers of eczema, psoriasis and acne.

Each soft gel capsule contains 1,000mg of Hemp Oil.
