Why Hemp? It’s a no-brainer. Hemp contains all the necessary building blocks to restoring balance and health in the body. Hemp is high in Zinc, Magnesium, Iron, amino acids, and other vitamins and essential minerals and fatty acids including Omega- 3, 6, and 9. According to a report by Mineral Resources International, these essential vitamins and minerals are what supports a healthy, happy immune system.

“Hemp seed benefits come from their significant amounts of omega-6 fatty acid GLA, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. GLA is metabolized into dihomogamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) by the body, which then intervenes with the ability of arachidonic acid to produce pro-inflammatory molecules. Furthermore, it is known that DGLA is converted to the anti-inflammatory compounds prostaglandin, adding to its ability to control chronic inflammation and its effects.”
