Antioxidants, Vitamins and Minerals

Hemp oil provides a host of other beneficial nutrients including antioxidants in the form of vitamin E and carotene. Antioxidants are beneficial because they neutralize destructive free radicals. Hemp oil also includes minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sulfur, phosphorous, iron and zinc. Chlorophyll is also present in hemp oil, which gives it a light green color. Chlorophyll has been shown to have potent antioxidant and antimutagenic activities.

Polyunsaturated Fats

Hemp oil is very high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, specifically gamma-linoleic acid and stearidonic acid. Polyunsaturated fats are beneficial because they help lower cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease and reduce the risk for Type 2 diabetes. Consuming polyunsaturated fats is also associated with a reduction in the onset of dementia as well as a reduced risk for developing memory difficulties and subsequent dementia.
