Hemp oil is a wholesome plant product. It is obtained from hemp seeds using the cold pressing method and natural precipitation after the extraction allowing to preserve the biological value of oil.
This oil is special due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, including essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which are crucial to the body and which can be obtained only from food. Hemp seeds have a higher content of these fatty acids than other plant products. Omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are at the ideal ratio of 1:3 which is considered to be optimal for human health. It has been shown that the modern diet has a higher content of omega-6 fatty acids that ensure a normal inflammatory response. However, excessive consumption of these fatty acids may facilitate chronic inflammatory processes, including atherosclerosis and obesity, as well as diabetes.

- Omega-3: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) helps to maintain a normal blood cholesterol level decreasing the risk for the development of cardiovascular disease. Three tablespoons of hemp seeds ensure 2 grams of the beneficial ALA which is the recommended daily intake!
- Vitamin E: a natural antioxidant that provides cell protection against oxidative stress and helps the body fight free radicals.
We recommend consuming 1–2 tablespoons (approximately 20 grams) of oil daily as a healthy and delicious addition to various dishes: salads, porridges, stews, cold sauces, shakes, and other dishes, giving them a pleasant nutty flavor. Not suitable for frying or heating. Hemp oil is also recommended for vegetarians and vegans.
