HempNatura® Fact Sheet
About HempNatura's nutrition products:
Hemp is a complete protein and a very nutritious option to
meat-based protein.
Approximately 44% of the weight of hempseed is edible oils,
containing about 80% essential fatty acids (EFAs); e.g., linoleic
acid, omega-6 (LA, 55%), alpha-linolenic acid, omega-3 (ALA, 22%),
in addition to gamma-linolenic acid, omega-6 (GLA, 1-4%) and
stearidonic acid, omega-3 (SDA, 0-2%). Proteins (including edestin)
are the other major component (33%).
Hemp protein contains all nutritionally significant amino acids,
including the 9 essential ones[12]adult bodies cannot produce.
Hempseed's amino acid profile is "complete" when compared to more
common sources of proteins such as meat, milk, eggs and soy.[11]
Proteins are considered complete when they contain all the
essential amino acids in sufficient quantities and ratios to meet
the body's needs. The proportions of linoleic acid and
alpha-linolenic acid in one tablespoon (15 ml) per day of hemp oil
easily provides human daily requirements for EFAs.
Hemp is proven to be a carbon negative crop that requires
relatively little water, as well as no herbicides or pesticides.
For these reasons Hemp is a source of protein that is as good for
the environment as it is for people. Hemp is quite the opposite of
the highly destructive livestock industry, which causes global
warming through its massive production of greenhouse gasses and
rampant deforestation in order to more ranch lands for cows and
pigs.
About HempNatura's body care products:
Hemp seed oil is renowned for its skin moisturizing and
rejuvenating properties, and hemp has the highest concentration of
essential fatty acids (EFAs) of any essential oil, as well as the
perfect balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 EFAs. Essential fatty acids
have the ability to enter directly into the lipid layers of your
skin cells and hair follicles, replenishing the oils that are
missing due to sun exposure, poor nutrition or neglect-clinical
studies show this can actually slow down the aging effects on
skin.
