Organic Hemp Oil is a nutritional supplement manufactured from Cannabis sativa seeds or hemp seeds which do not contain significant amounts of THC. It has an excellent reputation due to its Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio. These essential fatty acids makeup 80% of the Hemp Oil and are known for their positive effect on degenerative diseases including cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Hemp seed oil contains a beneficial amount of amino acids as well as Vitamin E and Vitamin D, and another fatty acid Omega-9. The Super Omegas GLA Omega-6 and SDA Omega-3 help the body in the fight against autoimmune disorders, arthritis, eczema, and PMS.
The Organic Hemp Oil produced by Nutiva is 100% raw, unrefined, cold-pressed Canadian Hemp Oil with a light green color and according to the company it is lighter in flavor and has more GLA content in comparison with other similar products. Nutiva is an American brand very well known for popularizing hemp based superfoods to the healthy food industry. All their products which include coconut, hemp and chia foods are certified-ecological and non-GMO. The company has begun a donation program in 1999 throughout which they support sustainable agriculture and other environmental causes.

Formula

1) What Are Organic Hemp Oil Ingredients?

Organic Hemp Oil contains the following ingredients: 100% raw organic hemp oil.

2) Is Organic Hemp Oil Right for You?

Organic Hemp Oil is a nutritional supplement with a perfectly balanced 1:3 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 that matches the human body needs. It is extracted from hemp seeds which contain 80% oil. Thanks to the Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids it contains, hemp oil is good not only for skin health and hair care, but also for heart disease and autoimmune disorders, liver and kidney degeneration, heart and circulatory problems, arthritis, and behavioral disturbances. It has a rich content of GLA and SDA so-called Super Omegas which also help the body in processing the EFAs Omega-3 and Omega-6 which in turn reduce the clotting tendency of the blood and improve cholesterol profiles.

The reason these two super omegas are called essential is that they cannot be produced by the body and have to be obtained from external sources. Hemp oil also contains albumin and medicine which are two globular proteins that are similar in structure to the proteins that can be found in human blood. Thanks to the similarities of these proteins to human cells, they are readily absorbed and assimilated by the body. The protein found in hemp oil is a great alternative for vegans or vegetarians to gain an adequate amount of protein in their diet. The content of amino acids in the hemp oil as well as potassium, calcium and Vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant, makes it an excellent moisturizer for the skin and gives it unique anti-inflammatory properties.

The number of online testimonials on the manufacturer’s website for this product is limited. They mention the following:

  • This product makes me feel healthy

  • I like taking it to preserve my health

Price

3) Organic Hemp Oil Price

Organic Hemp Oil is available in sizes of 8 oz, 16 oz, 24 oz, and 1 gallon. It is available on the market in multiple online stores as well as in Health Food Stores, and it has a moderate price. It is recommended to be consumed in doses of 1-2 tablespoons daily in smoothies, salads, vegetables, and pasta dishes. The 24 oz Organic Hemp Oil will last for about one and a half to two months if used in the recommended doses. So the monthly cost for this supplement rich in fatty acids and many other proteins is a great deal. The product is available also online on the manufacturer’s website who offers a 30-day money back guarantee.

4) Bottom Line – Does It Really Work?

Thanks to its well-balanced composition of fatty acids and nutrients, hemp seed oil makes a great nutritional supplement. It has just the right amount of Omega-6 GLA and Omega-3 SDA, which help the body to process the essential fatty acids. We have to keep in mind that these fatty acids cannot be produced by our bodies, and have to be obtained from external sources. Some studies suggest that Omega-3 fatty acids can be beneficial in treatments of ADHD-related symptoms and a variety of mental disorders such as depression. Many people have also been using organic hemp oil to keep a healthy metabolism while others use it for their skin care, eczema, rashes, etc.

I’ve purchased a few different types of hempseed oil and hempseed products. The taste takes a little getting used to, but the benefits are wonderful.
