This hemp seed oil has great benefits to your health and can help improve your overall health in a number of ways.

Maintain a hormonal balance: Hemp is the only edible seed that contains gamma-linolenic acid, which is eventually converted to the protective hormone prostaglandin PGE1 that regulates the hormonal balance and supports menopausal health.

Regenerates and energizes the skin’s protective layer: Due to its high content of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, hemp oil has a composition similar to skin lipids. It is especially useful for dry, tired or dehydrated skin and nails. It increases the skin elasticity and water retention capacity in tissues. Pure hemp oil can be used to treat dry hair and is often included in hair conditioners.

Great for vegetarians: Getting the right balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can be tricky for vegetarians and vegans. Hemp oil has the optimal ratio of these acids.

Helps lower cholesterol: The only vegetable oil to contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and may assist in lowering cholesterol levels by accelerating metabolic processes.

Boost your immunity: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids also improve immunity and regulate intestinal flora, thus building a natural barrier against microbes and increasing the resilience of the body.

    • Sale price or not, a lot cheaper than readily available elsewhere.

    • RRP seems to be $29.95 per bottle but this is probably Costco's normal price.

  • Excellent stuff for dogs with allergies and/or anxiety

    • this is not to be confused with CBD oil

      although the sellers like to make this as unclear as possible

      • I'm not confusing it with CBD oil….Hemp oil has been excellent for my dogs.

  • This is Costco's regular price.
    It has been there for many weeks in store - maybe it has only recently been put online though.

  • The human body produces GLA from linoleic acid (LA). This reaction is catalyzed by Δ6-desaturase (D6D), an enzyme that allows the creation of a double bond on the sixth carbon counting from the carboxyl terminus. LA is consumed sufficiently in most diets, from such abundant sources as cooking oils and meats.

    Linoleic acid is abundant in safflower, sunflower, corn, and comprises over half their composition by weight. It is present in medium quantities in soybean oils, sesame, and almonds.[19][20]
