Hemp Seed Oil Benefits The Heart and Much More
74Hemp Oil comes from the Hemp plant. The unrefined hemp oil, which comes from the seeds of the hemp plant, is green in color and has a nutty taste.
It has anywhere from 30 to 35% oil per weight, which equals about 80% fatty acids, and is a very high resource for getting those essential fatty acids that everyone needs in their regular diet.
Hemp seeds contain 25% protein which act as antibodies and enzymes. In order for a protein to be considered as a complete protein, it has to have 10 amino acids in order to have the quantity that is needed for the body.
Amino Acids help to break down protein through the digestive system, and hemp protein contains 20 of the 10 that is necessary for one’s body. Hemp oil is phosphorus free oil that contains two types of protein, which are only found in hemp seed. Edestin, which helps in food digestion, has 65% protein make up, and Albumin which is also found in egg whites.
Hemp oil is proven to have around 80% polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are considered to be the fats that are good for our bodies, and yet our bodies do not produce these acids; they have to be taken into the body through a person’s diet. It contains substantial amounts of Omega 3 and Omega 6, which are necessary in producing fatty acids.
It also contains high amounts of vitamin E, which is an antioxidant, in the form of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocopherol and alpha tocotrienol, as well as vitamin A, chlorophyll, phosphorus, iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium, and potassium, as well as vitamin D.
Hemp seed oil helps to block and reduce the possibility of having an upset stomach and in preventing gas pockets. It doesn’t have the inhibitors that cause upset stomachs as the case with soy protein.
People that have taken hemp oil on a regular basis have been found to have more healthy skin and a strong immune system. Because of the high content of Omega 3 and Omega 6, hemp is a large contributor in preventing heart trouble, and also lowering the cholesterol level. It helps in the treatment of cancer, such as prostate, colon or breast cancers. It is proven to reduce dementia (Alzheimer’s), as well as the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
The high content of vitamin D helps in treating and in preventing osteoporosis, inflammation, eczema and psoriasis. Hemp is needed in very high quantities to promote healthy growth in children. Proper enzyme formations come from the sulfur containing amino acids that are produced from hemp seeds.
It would benefit everyone to take hemp oil as a dietary supplement to produce the good fatty acids that our bodies desperately need, but do not produce on its own. Almost everyone suffers from one or many forms of the ailments as described above and desperately need to help their own bodies to produce satisfactory results.

I've been taking a few tablespoons every day for years and new it was good but didn't know it was THIS good. I'm absolutely thrilled that it contains Vitamin D!!
Definitely a food item that should be more promoted. It was used widely 30 odd years ago and only now rediscovered
I secretly put shelled hemp seeds into everything my girlfreind eats , she noticed them in her soup so i put in the oil instead. She had a thyroid problem hyperthyroidism and responded well to treatment. But it came back we noticed because she has poor circulation in her hands and feet(they being cold is normal for her) so when she began to get really warm again we knew it was coming back. So I queezed her 3 oranges and a grapefruit for juice a day with hemp seeds in it and put hemp seeds in her food. I also put hemp oil in her foods without her knowing all this. after 3 weeks she was back to normal and the thyroid seems to be functioning well again. I have stopped the oranges but am still using the seeds. She has never felt beter.
I discovered hemp oil through my brother. He persuaded me into taking a teaspoon everyday, so I tried one, just to get him off my back. Well, I am glad that he did, cause it has changed my life for the very good. IMy skin is glowing and radiant!. I am slimmer, and my mood, mentality are wonderful. people just tell me what am I doing that I look so good. I also eat less cause I do not crave junk. I hardly want to eat and all want to do now is workout./ IT really makes one feel super healthy and good, and makes one just want to run and run. It changed my life for the good. try it, you got nothing to loose but looking and feeling good to gain!!~!
I am not an author. I am just interested in learning about things that help cancer, c.o.p.d., heart problems,diabetes.
I recently have been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis in my spine, I'm in my early 30's.
Just wondering if Hemp Oil and Hemp seeds have a good amount of Calcium and Vit D, and the absorption level..
My problem is that my bones are not absorbing the Calcium, saying they have enough when they don't. So I will need a higher amount of both in my system to counteract my bone loss, at least to slow it down.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ;)
Wow! I am glad I checked out this article. I have been exploring adding Omega 3 to my diet. I didn't realize hemp oil provided Omega 3. It also offers so much more. Thanks for the really useful information.
Hi Chantelg4, this hemp seed oil seems like something I would use for better looking skin complexion. Cool hub, thanks.

Hi Chantel,
I'm a hemp oil fan. I buy it from our local farmer's market, and drizzle it on my breakfast cereal every day, and sometimes use it in salad dressings. It has a pleasant, nutty taste, plus it's seriously good for you. I have definitely noticed the difference since I started using it. I knew that it contained the omega oils, but didn't know about the other minerals and vitamins, so it's good to know that it's even better than I suspected.
