HEMP SEED OIL:
the wholly vegetal SUPERFOOD

Hemp seed oil can be considered a real nutritional “vaccine” in the sense that it possesses all the effects of a protective food when introduced daily into one’s diet, thanks to its balanced 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 and Omega 3 and the other nutrients.

• It is rich in Vitamin E: a powerful antioxidant
• It contains all essential amino acids with high biological value
• It brings important vitamins of B group (B1, B2, B6) and vitamin D
• It contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus.

Why is it so important to integrate hemp seed oil into our diet?

• It supports the integrity and functionality of cellular membranes
• It improves skin trophism
• It fights the discomfort associated with the menstrual cycle
• It promotes articular functionality
• Taking 2 grams of alfa-linolenic acid contributes to maintaining normal levels of cholesterol in our blood
• It is naturally rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant which protects cells from oxidative stress.

Moreover, its balanced content of omega 3 acts as a homeostatic regulator of our endocannabinoid system.

Hemp seed oil and skincare

Many studies in dermatological field have showed the extraordinary efficacy of hemp seed oil, integrated in the daily diet to IMPROVE SKIN TROPHISM, especially in the presence of skin disorders.

• ACNE

Hemp seed oil could be useful to improve the skin affected by acne, thanks to an anti-inflammatory and sebum normalizing action. Moreover, it helps fight the proliferation of Propionibacterium Acnes and it favours the regeneration of the skin, promoting collagen production.

Thanks to high quantity of essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, the integration with hemp seed oil is fundamental in case of Hyperseborrhea (excessive production of sebum), often associated with a deficit of alfa-linoleic acid which causes the augmentation of oxidative stress.

•  ATOPIC DERMATITIS
  A clinical study shows that introducing hemp seed oil into one’s diet is useful to improve the clinical symptomatology of atopic dermatitis, characterized by inflammation and dryness. This improvement seems to be connected with the high and balanced content of essential fatty acids omega 3 and omega 6.

What are essential fatty acids? 

Essential fatty acids are nutrients that our body cannot produce by itself. So, they can be intaken exclusively by nutrition and food supplement.

Omega 6 are responsible for proinflammatory activities of our organism, while Omega 3 are responsible for the antinflammatory ones.

Essential fatty acids are fundamental also for the growth and the health of membrane cells, for the synthesis of haemoglobin, for sexual function, reproduction and much more. For example, some brest pathologies and menstrual cycle alteration seem to derived from an excessive intake of satured acids against polynsatured ones (omega 3 and omega 6).

 Why is it important to keep the right ratio of Omega 3 and Omega 6? 

An excessive intake of Omega 6, if not balanced with an appropriate intake of Omega 3, could favour the onset of inflammatory diseases and could increase the risk of cardiovascular patholgies.

According to WHO, NUTRITION in developed countries is totally unbalanced towards Omega 6, compared with the intake of Omega 3, in a 30:1 ratio.

This means that our body has a high risk to be in a PROLONGED INFLAMMATORY STATE, which could lead to the onset of pathlogies, especially in the presence of risk factors such as smoke, sedentary lifestyle, stress and obesity.
