Hemp Seed Oil in Capsules
Hemp seed oil capsules are legal in most countries, as they contain negligible amounts of THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis). However, it is essential to ensure that the product complies with local regulations before travelling. When travelling, consider ways to keep the capsules at a cool temperature.
Hemp seed oil capsules are typically swallowed whole and can be thrown into a smoothie if you are busy and on the go. The recommended dosage varies depending on individual needs, It’s advisable to follow the instructions on the container, and consult to a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
While hemp seed oil is generally considered safe for most people, some may experience mild side effects of digestive discomfort. We recommend that you take the capsules after food to see if that helps settle any digestive discomfort.
It is very rare to have an allergic reaction to hemp seed oil. The capsules are made with natural ingredients but as always it pays to check whether you can tolerate them.
Additionally, hemp seed oil may also act as a mild blood thinner and may lower blood pressure slightly. If you are managing any condition requiring medication, please check with a health care practitioner before starting.
Many people prefer to take hemp seed oil capsules in the morning with breakfast. This allows the body to absorb the nutrients gradually throughout the day, providing sustained energy and support for cognitive function.
Alternatively, some individuals choose to take hemp seed oil capsules in the evening with dinner or before bedtime. This timing may promote relaxation and support better sleep quality, thanks to the potential calming effects of omega-3 fatty acids.
Ultimately, consistency is key, so it’s essential to establish a routine and ideally take the capsules at the same time each day for optimal results.
While hemp seed oil is generally considered safe for most people, it’s essential to adhere to recommended dosages to avoid potential side effects or adverse reactions. The maximum dosage can vary depending on factors such as body weight, age, overall health, and the concentration of the capsules.
Our guidelines are to Start Low, Go Slow: If you’re new to hemp seed oil capsules, it’s wise to start with a low dosage and gradually increase it over time. This allows your body to adjust and minimizes the risk of experiencing adverse effects.
Expired hemp seed oil capsules can pose potential risks to your health and may impact their effectiveness.
Over time, the oils in the capsules can degrade, leading to a decrease in nutrient content and potential rancidity. As a result, consuming expired capsules may not provide the intended health benefits and could even be ineffective.
Rancid oils can cause digestive discomfort, including nausea, bloating, and stomach cramps.
To determine if your hemp seed oil capsules have expired, check the expiration date printed on the packaging. Additionally, inspect the capsules for any signs of deterioration, such as changes in colour, texture, or odour. If the capsules appear discoloured, have a rancid smell, or show visible signs of spoilage, they should be discarded immediately.
To prolong the shelf life of hemp seed oil capsules and prevent them from expiring prematurely, store capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid exposure to moisture, which can accelerate degradation. Use hemp seed oil capsules within the recommended timeframe to ensure maximum potency and effectiveness.

Dosage: Take 1-2 capsules post exercise. Adjust the dosage based on body weight, exercise intensity, and individual response.
