(Before It's News)

Hempseed oil provides significant amounts of the more rare ‘super’ polyunsaturated fatty acids, notably gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and stearidonic acid (SDA). Researchers writing in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that hempseed oil may be full of potentially beneficial compounds including plant sterols and omega-3 fatty acids, according to new research.

Writing in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers examined the chemical make-up of hempseed oil – finding that the seed oil could be a valuable source of bioactive compounds for the food and cosmetic industries.

Supplementation with GLA and SDA appears to alleviate the symptoms of atopic dermatitis and other skin diseases in some patients. GLA and SDA content in hemp seed vary considerably with variety and this needs to be considered when using hemp oil to treat such symptoms.
