Hemp Oil

Hemp oil is pressed from carefully selected hemp seeds. It is characterized by a high content of valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids: Omega-3 (linolenic acid) and Omega-6 (linoleic acid) and phytosterols.

• Cold-pressed at a temperature below 40° C
• Beneficial proportions of omega-3 to omega-6 acids
• Unrefined, without preservatives and artificial colors

Hemp seed oil is a rich source of minerals and B vitamins, vitamin A, K, and especially vitamin E, which is a natural antioxidant. It features an optimal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 acids.
