Hemp seed oil, a light green oil with a nutty flavour, is extracted from hemp seeds. At Hemp Shack, we utilise locally sourced hemp and employ cold-press methods to extract our premium-grade oil.

Despite frequent confusion with CBD oil, hemp seed oil is a distinct product. While both are derived from cannabis, they originate from different varieties—cannabis for CBD oil and hemp for hemp seed oil. Unlike cannabis, hemp contains no psychoactive substances like THC.

In recent years, research has unveiled numerous health benefits associated with hemp seed oil consumption, encompassing:

1. Heart Health: Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, hemp seed oil aids in reducing high cholesterol levels and boasts protective effects on the heart. Components like gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and arginine contribute to anti-inflammatory properties and improved blood vessel dilation, ultimately promoting cardiovascular health.

2. Skincare: Hemp seed oil's omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids mitigate symptoms of various skin disorders, including dryness, flakiness, and itchiness associated with eczema. Its application as a moisturiser or balm helps achieve clear, nourished skin and may aid in acne treatment.

3. Digestive Health: High in omega-3 fatty acids and GLA, hemp oil combats inflammation, addressing common digestive complaints and disorders like IBS and diverticulitis, thereby enhancing overall digestive function.

4. Symptom Reduction in PMS and Menopause: GLA-rich hemp seed oil has been linked to a reduction in symptoms related to PMS and menopause, potentially regulating hormone imbalances and alleviating pain and inflammation associated with these conditions.

5. General Nutrition: Packed with essential nutrients, hemp seed oil provides a wealth of proteins, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and all nine essential amino acids necessary for tissue maintenance and repair.
