Hemp seed oil has bloomed in popularity over the last few years, but why has the popularity of this simple plant-based oil grown so rapidly in this small amount of time?
It is well-known that the essential fatty acids omega 3 and 6 can benefit your health and wellbeing in many ways. In fact, fish oil was the most popular natural health product used by adults in the United States in 2012*.
However, with both a rise in popularity for vegetarian and vegan-friendly diets and some questions raised on the sustainability aspects of lower-quality fish oil products, fish oil may not be a suitable product for everyone.
Omega 3s are well-versed for their health-supporting properties, including the ways in which adequate levels of this essential fatty acid can support:
- Mood
- Cognition and mental clarity
- Eye health
- Your cardiovascular system
- Healthy joints.
Why we’re here for hemp
Hemp seed oil is one of nature’s most balanced oils, with omega 3s and 6s in the optimal ratio of 3:1 to provide you with an ideal intake to support general health and wellbeing.
While hemp oil has been legal for use in food products since 2002, the law around its use in supplements changed only in November 2018, meaning that many health products are still new to the market. As information on the health benefits of hemp seed oil has become more available and more products have hit the market, it has become an increasingly-popular essential fatty acid and omega 3 product.
