Application of Industrial Hemp

An ideal omega-6 to omega-3 PUFA ratio is provided by hemp, which supports cardiovascular health, decreases osteoporosis symptoms, and soothes eczema symptoms.

Additionally, it includes CBD, which may be used as a medicinal treatment for conditions affecting the central nervous system, such as epilepsy, neurodegenerative disorders, and multiple sclerosis, due to its pharmacological properties.

Around the world, hemp has been used for millennia as a source of fiber and oilseeds in a wide range of consumer and industrial products. Industrial hemp is already grown and traded internationally in over 25 countries as an agricultural product. People in Europe and APAC have consumed hemp oil and seeds for over 5,000 years.

Salad oils, health bars, non-dairy cheeses, non-soy tofu, non-dairy kinds of milk, additions for biscuits, bread, and cakes; butter pastes, as well as entire seeds consumed raw or roasted, are among the food products being created with hemp oil and hemp seeds on a global scale.

Hemp Oil Widely Used

The essential fatty acids Omega 3, 6, and 9 have anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and skin-problem-solving qualities, and hemp oil is an ingredient in every product.
