What the Research Says About Hemp Seed
Hemp seed is studied mostly for its fat and protein: a fatty acid profile weighted toward linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid, gamma-linolenic acid in the oil, and storage proteins that are unusually digestible for a plant source. These articles summarize what researchers have actually examined, from cardiovascular markers to skin conditions, digestion and fibre intake, and where the evidence is still thin or rests on small trials. Written for readers who want the nutritional reasoning behind the claims on the package, not a supplement pitch.
