Hemp Facts
So what’s so special about hemp? Everything!
First, the hemp plant is incredibly easy to grow and it grows in most climates. It doesn’t deplete soil, in fact it repairs soil, it thrives with minimal water and it naturally can be cultivated without herbicides. Not many pests bother hemp, so guess what? No need for pesticides either! It’s a more efficient way to grow our food as well as better for the environment. And the humble hemp plant can even fight against climate change! One acre of hemp can actually absorb more carbon than an acre of old growth forest, so there’s never been a better time to embrace a greener future for you and your pets.
What is a Hemp Flake?
The term “superfood” gets thrown around a lot but when it comes to hemp seeds, it’s actually true. A hemp flake is a naturally harvested, cleaned whole hemp seed that has been cold pressed removing most of the oil. That’s it. Hemp seeds are absolutely packed with goodness for all pets and animals. Naturally produced protein, fibre, vitamins A, C, and E, minerals like calcium and zinc and magnesium and the best part? Hemp seeds contain the richest plant-based source of Omega-3, 6, & 9 fatty acids and every amino acid known.
Imagine your pet getting the nutritional benefits from eating fish but from a plant instead. Many fish oil supplements are not produced sustainably and they can contain unsafe levels of toxins. Fish oil supplements made from krill are taking food that is vital to whales survival. Feeding your pets our natural and organic hemp flakes is good for them and good for the environment.
What is Hemp Seed Oil?
Organically grown whole hemp seeds are harvested and then cold pressed to produce our extra virgin hemp seed oil. The oil this produces is unmatched for its ability to remain fresh and not oxidise like many fish based supplements. So that means all the natural goodness of Omega 3’s and Omega 6’s are there for your pets to enjoy.
Hemp Seed Oil is rich in two essential fatty acids, Alpha-Linolenic acid (Omega-3) and Linoleic acid (Omega-6), the fatty acids you want in your diet. As polyunsaturated fats, these cannot be produced naturally in your pet’s body and need to be included in their diet. These essential Omega-3 and Omega-6’s have anti-inflammatory properties to help hips and joints. They naturally boost your pet’s immune system as well as assisting with digestion by supporting their metabolism. Not only will they feel the best inside, your pet will look their best with healthy looking skin and shiny coats. Hemp seed oil is naturally proven and sustainably produced food for your pets.
