A fat lot of good!

All fats have important roles in your body. The most important are essential fatty acids (EFAs), types of fat that your body cannot make, so you must add them through the foods you eat. EFAs are based on linoleic acid (omega 6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega 3s), of which you need both to survive.

Food sources of EFAs include fish and shellfish, seaweed oil, flaxseed, hemp seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, leafy veggies and walnuts. It’s important to eat the right amounts of EFAs to keep your body working at its best.

Studies show that increasing your intake of certain EFAs can increase general health, help to treat certain diseases, and help mental and physical performance. Many people’s diets are low in EFAs, so adding a quality daily supplement is ideal.

Hemp seed oil contains omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids in a ratio of 3:1 which is the optimal ratio, making it one of nature’s most balanced oils. It provides one of the most ideal options for adding EFAs to your body for health and wellbeing, supporting:

-       Comfortable joints and muscles

-       Nourished skin, hair and nails

-       Healthy cholesterol and hormone levels

-       Brain function and development

-       Healthy blood pressure, heart and circulation. 

Hemp belongs to the same plant family as cannabis, but they are two different plants with different compositions. THC is the chemical that makes you feel ‘high’, and it’s found in the cannabis plant.

Lighthouse 100% Pure Hemp Seed Oil 1100 is sourced from pure, cold-pressed, New Zealand-grown hemp seeds. It provides a balanced source of omegas 3, 6 and 9, ideal for skin, hair, joint and heart health.

Always read the label and take as directed. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional.
