Hempseed as a nutritional resource: an overview of composition and gamma-linolenic acid content
Callaway JC
Published in Euphytica
Methodology
Compositional analysis of hempseed protein, fatty acid and micronutrient content across cultivars
Key Findings
Hempseed oil contains roughly 55% linoleic acid, 22% alpha-linolenic acid and 1-4% gamma-linolenic acid, with a complete protein profile in the seed meal.
Conclusions
Hemp seed oil is nutritionally notable for its balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio and GLA content rather than for proven clinical effects.
Limitations
Compositional survey, not a clinical study.
Supplements Studied
Hempseed oil contains roughly 55% linoleic acid, 22% alpha-linolenic acid and 1-4% gamma-linolenic acid.
