"Omega-Rich"
Introduction
H**p Seed Oil is pressed from the seeds of the H**p plant, Cannabis Sativa,to make a sweet, nutty oil. H**p Seed Oil is considered to be the most nutritional of all oils available. It has a plethora of medicinal, nutritional, and cosmetic uses, making it a wonderful multi-purpose ingredient.
H**p Seed Oil has a history of use for its medicinal and nutritional properties dating back as far as 4000 B.C. in China and has long been a popular natural remedy in Eastern cultures. H**p Seed Oil provides the body with complete protein, nutrition, and with all the essential amino acids necessary for health and wellness. . Perhaps the most valued property of H**p Seed Oil is its percentage of Essential Fatty Acids, which is higher than any other plant in the world.
The people become aware of its many benefits.
Content
H**p Seeds contain oil that is relatively rich in essential fatty acids. In particular, H**p Seed Oil is a source of both the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and the omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linoleic acid (GLA).
H**p Seed Oil also contains natural Vitamin E and a significant amount of protein.
Omega 3 to Omega 6 Ratio
A variety of studies have documented the importance of the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 consumption. H**p seed oil is the closest to this optimum ratio of any naturally occurring oil. H**p seed oil has a ratio of at least one-to-three, Omega 3 to Omega 6. Oils with unbalanced ratios have been shown to have detrimental physiological effects.
A balanced omega 3 and 6 fatty acid profile and high content of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) makes h**p a great way to get your essential fats to prevent cardiovascular disease, lubricate your joints and soft tissues in the body, and keep your skin radiant and youthful.
Phytosterols
Phytosterols are friendly plant sterols that can block cholesterol absorption into our systems.
Gamma-Tocopherol
Gamma-Tocopherol..γ-Tocopherol is one of the chemical compounds that is considered vitamin E.
Chlorophyll
Have you ever wondered what gives h**p oil its emerald green color? This may the best kept secret about h**p and its health benefits! H**p contains an very high level of chlorophyll, which is essentially a plant’s life force, similar to the way blood supports our body. Chlorophyll is almost identical to hemoglobin, which is the oxygen carrying molecule in the blood that provides cellular energy. So what does this mean? When you digest chlorophyll the body actually uses it in similar way to hemoglobin, to rebuild and replenish red blood cells and boost energy, this makes it a fantastic addition for athletes or anyone looking for an energy boost. Chlorophyll also has cleansing benefits that help to detoxify the cells, fight infection, and boost immunity, which everyone can most certainly benefit from.
Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids are active chemicals in Cannabis that cause drug-like effects throughout the body, including the central nervous system.
There are over 480 natural components found within the Cannabis sativa plant, of which 66 have been classified as "cannabinoids;" chemicals unique to the plant cannabinoids affect the user by interacting with specific receptors, located within different parts of the central nervous system.
The actual effects that the cannabinoids have reflect the areas of the brain they interact with. Interactions tend to occur in our limbic system (the part of the brain that affects memory, cognition and psychomotor performance) and mesolimbic pathway (activity in this region is associated with feelings of reward) and are also widely distributed in areas of pain perception.
