The way we approach wellness and healthcare has significantly shifted. Many are now turning to natural remedies and holistic approaches to health. One notable change in modern health practice is the rise of hemp supplements. And it’s no surprise they have taken the health scene by storm because hemp supplements combine healing and fun! Let’s explore the exciting world of hemp supplements in this article.
What Is Hemp, And Why The Hype?
Hemp, Cannabis Sativa L., has been grown and harvested for many years for many uses. It’s a great source of fiber, and in addition to health supplements, it is a critical ingredient in industrial products, building materials, biofuel, paper, and insulation, among other things.
The Power Of Hemp Supplements
More importantly, hemp does wonders for the human body. It is packed with nature’s goodness—omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and protein. Taking hemp supplements can help in:
Protecting the brain – The antioxidants in hemp can help with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, neuropathic pain, and childhood seizure disorders.
Boosting heart health – Hemp can reduce the risk of arrhythmias and heart disease.
Reducing inflammation – Hemp contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid with anti-inflammatory effects. Studies have shown that it may help manage the symptoms of diseases like metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and non-alcohol-related fatty liver disease.
Those mentioned above are just some of the benefits reaped from taking hemp supplements. More benefits include supporting mental health, promoting skin health, alleviating pain, etc.
Hemp Is From Cannabis; Is It Like Marijuana? Should I Be worried?
Hemp is nature’s gift! But if you’re worried that it has the same effects as marijuana, here’s why you can put those thoughts to rest.
Unlike marijuana, which is also from Cannabis sativa, hemp has very low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).
Legally, in December of 2018, the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, the Farm Bill, was signed into law. This bill removed hemp and derivatives of Cannabis with less than 0.3 percent delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a dry weight basis from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
The Types Of Hemp Supplements
Here are the common types or forms of hemp supplements in the market:
- Hemp oil– This can be consumed directly or used as an ingredient in various food products such as salad dressings, smoothies, and dips.
- CBD Oil – Cannabidiol (CBD) has therapeutic effects, including pain relief, stress reduction, and improved sleep.
- CBD Capsules – CBD capsules offer a convenient and precise way to consume CBD without the fuss of measuring or mixing.
- Hemp Protein Powder can be added to smoothies, shakes, or baked goods to increase protein content and boost nutritious energy.
- Hemp Extract Gummies – These are a popular way to enjoy the benefits of hemp in a tasty and convenient form.
