    The cardiac and haemostatic effects of dietary hempseed

    Rodriguez-Leyva D, Pierce GN

    Published in Nutrition & Metabolism

    Methodology

    Review of animal and human studies on hempseed and hempseed oil effects on lipids, platelet aggregation and cardiac ischaemia

    Key Findings

    Hempseed's roughly 3:1 linoleic to alpha-linolenic ratio favourably modified lipid profiles in animals and inhibited platelet aggregation, but human clinical data are very limited.

    Conclusions

    Cardiovascular claims for hemp seed oil rest largely on preclinical data.

    Limitations

    Few controlled human trials; heterogeneous preparations.

    Supplements Studied

    Human clinical data on hempseed and cardiovascular endpoints are very limited.
