Hemp Oil, 16 fl.oz, Nutiva

There has been an incredible interest in high-integrity, high-energy foods and superfoods in recent years, and hemp foods are leading the pack. Nutiva Hemp Oil takes the nutrient-density of hemp seeds three steps closer to perfection. The integrity of the essential fatty acids in Nutiva Hemp Oil is maintained during every stage of processing, for a fresher taste and higher nutrition than many other hemp oils.

Certified organic hemp seeds are harvested with care and then cold-pressed at temperatures below 104 degrees F. The resulting hemp oil is bottled in small batches, and each bottle is flushed with nitrogen and then sealed with foil before being capped. Each of these steps is vital for preventing the delicate nutrients found in Hemp Oil from being degraded by oxygen. You can taste the superiority of Nutiva Hemp Oil in every drop of pure green goodness.

Hemp is one of very few plants which contains a high quantity of Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acids. Hemp oil normally contains about 80% polyunsaturated fatty acids, with Omega 6 and 3 in a ratio of 3:1. Nutiva has devoted all their efforts to careful processing of this hemp oil, resulting in higher levels of Omega 3 fatty acids. The Standard American Diet contains an extremely high proportion of Omega 6 fatty acids compared to Omega 3, almost 20:1! Nutiva Hemp Oil works to reduce this grave imbalance, one delicious spoonful at a time.

In perfect balance, Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids work to support health in almost every part of the body. These fatty acids are considered essential because they cannot be manufactured by the body; we must receive them from special foods such as hemp oil. When these two EFAs work together, they help to decrease the levels of oxidized cholesterol in the blood and lubricate the joints, reducing health challenges traced to arthritis.

The highly flexible, bendable nature of Omega 3 and Omega 6 EFAs is essential for optimal brain health. These fatty acids work to promote more focused concentration, combat mood disorders, and free up our minds for greater creativity and awareness. New studies cite these polyunsaturated fatty acids as important in fighting obesity, a condition now considered to be one of the most common nutritional disorders in the industrialized world.

Hemp oil also contains Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), an exceedingly rare, long-chain Omega 6 fatty acid. GLA helps promote healthy joints and supports the growth of lush, thick hair and strong nails. GLA also promotes clear, radiant skin by increasing cell permeabilty. When we consume hemp oil and other foods rich in GLA, we are making our cell walls more permeable. This allows toxins to be flushed out much more rapidly, as nutrients rush in.

As an added boost for skin health, Nutiva Hemp Oil also contains high amounts of the antioxidant Vitamin E. Working together with GLA, Vitamin E works to erase fine lines on the face and repair connective tissue. Vitamin E is crucial for proper absorption of Vitamin A, and it is vital for reproductive health in both men and women.
