Biona Hemp Seed Oil

This Biona hemp seed oil is cold-pressed and unrefined to ensure all nutritional benefits are retained. Hemp seed oil is extracted from seeds of the hemp plant. The extraction occurs through cold-pressing, similar to the way that olives are cold-pressed to make olive oil.

Although the hemp and the cannabis (marijuana) plant belong to the same plant family, Cannabis sativa L, they are two different plants and have different compositions. The most notable difference is the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) present in each plant. THC is the psychoactive portion of the cannabis plant. It’s the chemical that could make you feel “high”. While the cannabis plant has high THC levels (up to 28%), the hemp plant’s THC concentration does not exceed 0.3%. Thus, products derived from the hemp plant are unlikely to create a “high” and are mainly used for medicinal purposes. Omega-3 fatty acids are abundant in hemp seed oil which could help lower blood pressure in people with hypertension (high blood pressure). Some research recommends using omega-3 fatty acid supplements or oils to possibly help lower blood pressure. (Source: https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-hemp-seed-oil).
