When choosing an oil supplement there are a few key things to consider.
Omegas
Firstly, Hemp Seed Oil is unique as it contains omega-6 and omega-3 in the optimal 3:1 ratio which enables efficient absorption by our bodies. For optimal health you require a 3:1 ratio, as large imbalances could lead to health issues such as inflammation and obesity. Hemp oil contains the omega-3 fatty acid, SDA (stearidonic acid) which enables you body to produce its own EPA.
Environment & Sustainability
Hemp Oil is very sustainable and contributes significantly to our natural environment by promoting regeneration of the soil, stopping erosion and reducing greenhouse emissions. Some fish oils are not sourced sustainably. Fish oil has to undergo a large amount of processing producing a large amount of waste biproduct.
