Beauty , Health & Wellness : Hemp Seed Oil ( Superfood )
Hemp seed oil is a popular superfood supplement in the health and wellness industry . To begin the extraction process , hemp seeds are shelled , and the husk is totally removed . The seeds are then sent through a hydraulic press at room or cool temperatures , and the oil is separated from the seed . This process of extraction is called cold processing . Lack of heat and oxygen in cold pressing allows the oil to retain its antioxidants and nutritional integrity . It holds a perfect 3:1 ratio of essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids . These acids promote cardiovascular function and nourish the nervous system . Hemp seed oil is also a potent source of hormone-balancing gamma-linoleic acid ( GLA ). Women commonly take it to improve dysfunctional cycles . Furthermore , this superfood ’ s high vitamin A and E makes it a prime ingredient in skin and hair care and is safe to use topically .
