Health Benefits
There are several health benefits of hemp protein, which is why people have been eating it for thousands of years. Here are some of the top benefits of both hemp seeds and hemp protein powder:
Lowers Cholesterol
Did you know that hemp seed oil helps to lower cholesterol? It is rich in linoleic acid (Omega 6). Studies show that a diet rich in linoleic acid help to reduce levels of cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein in the bloodstream. Using hemp seed oil to lower your cholesterol levels reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure.
Supports a Healthy Heart
The high levels of linoleic acid (Omega 6), alpha-linolenic acid (Omega 3) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) in hemp seed oil all work towards supporting a healthy heart. Lowing cholesterol and blood pressure help to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Improves Joint Health
The essential fatty acids present in hemp seed oil are associated with a range of benefits when it comes to joint health and arthritis. Fish oil has long been recommended for dealing with joint pain, stiffness and inflammation but did you know that hemp seeds actually contain more Omega 3, 6 and 9 than fish oil? With hemp seed oil, you are getting a more complete range of these essential fatty acids (as well as additional vitamins/minerals), and they are in the “perfect ratio” for human consumption.
Helps with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Hemp seed oil could help relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Hempseed oil contains several anti-inflammatories such as GLA, which help to reduce inflammation and pain caused by irritable bowels.
They’re Vegan!
