Hemp oil has long been known by many peoples, but it was particularly popular in Rus. People used hemp seed oil for centuries, until in the *8th *9th centuries it was replaced by sunflower oil. However, hemp oil was not forgotten, and hemp was actively cultivated as a valuable agricultural crop until the middle of the last century.Hemp seed oil has numerous unique features which are not typical of any other oil. Rich in antioxidants, it prevents thrombosis, lowers cholesterol levels and helps to lose weight. Stearidonic and gamma-linolenic acids contained in hemp oil are not synthesised by the human body, but are vital for its health.

One of hemp oil components is chlorophyll, which gives the oil its greenish tint. But the main merit of chlorophyll, and therefore, the oil, is that it prevents cancer tumours in the body, and the regular use of hemp oil reduces the risk of oncologic diseases.

In addition, hemp seed oil contains indispensable polyunsaturated fatty acid omega*3 and a full range of aminoacids. Hemp oil has the optimal correlation of two essential fatty acids omega*3 and omega*6 in the ratio of 1:3 respectively.
