B Vitamins – essential for energy and during pregnancy: Hemp Seeds contain Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), which are all necessary for energy production in the body. They also contain Vitamin B9 (Folate), which is essential for women during pregnancy. Folate is not to be confused with the Synthetic Folic Acid found in many vitamin supplements.

Amino Acids – vital building blocks of the body: Hemp seeds contain all 21 amino acids, which are the building blocks of the body, including the 9 essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce. These are responsible for muscle control, mental function and general maintenance of cells, tissues and organs.

Omega 3 & Omega 6 – Essential Fatty Acids: Omega 3 fatty acids can’t be produced by the human body, so it is essential that they are consumed in adequate amounts through our diet. The three most common types of Omega 3 fats are Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Along with being a crucial part of human cell membranes, Omega 3s can help to improve heart health, fight inflammation, support infant brain development and slow the decline in brain function as we age. Hulled Hemp Seeds are a natural source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and contain the perfect ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 of 3:1. Omega 6 fatty acids must also be obtained through diet and play an important part in stimulating skin and hair growth, maintaining bone health, regulating metabolism and maintaining the reproductive system.

Magnesium- essential for good health: Hemp contains Magnesium, a vital macro-mineral that is often deficient in our diet and needed by our body for over 300 reactions and functions. Magnesium deficiency can result in symptoms ranging from lack of energy to muscle cramps, aches, pains, headaches and insomnia. Hemp also has naturally occurring Calcium and Vitamin D, which are dependent on Magnesium for effective absorption into the system.

GLA – PMS and Menopause: Hemp can help to reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause. Symptoms caused by PMS are often caused by sensitivity to the hormone Prolactin. The gamma-Linolenic acid found in Raw Hemp Seeds and Hemp Seed Oil is known to naturally balance hormones, and studies have suggested that the seeds can also reduce the symptoms of menopause.

Vitamin E – high in anti-oxidants: Hemp seeds are a great source of Vitamin E, which is rich in anti-oxidants, and is needed for the proper function of many organs and systems in the body. It also plays the important role of slowing down processes in our bodies that can damage cells.
