Hemp Seed / Cannabis Seed
Cannabis sativa (seed only)
Hemp seeds (not CBD or THC — the seeds themselves) contain the optimal 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, complete protein with all essential amino acids, and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). GLA has documented anti-tumour activity against breast and colon cancer cells. Hemp seed is exceptional nutritional support for cancer patients losing weight and muscle mass during treatment.
