H**p Seed Oil compared to Fish Oil
What science tells us about h**p seed oil:
H**p seed oil is composed of nearly 85 percent essential fatty acids (EFAs) alone and offers the richest, most balanced natural source of EFAs. In fact the amount of alpha-linolenic and linolenic acid in 15 ml (one tablespoon) of h**p seed oil provides more than the daily EFA requirements suggested by the FDA. In addition, h**p seed oil is lower in saturated fatty acids than other comparable oils, is easily digested and has been shown to alleviate symptoms of atopic dermatitis (eczema) and even psoriasis.
H**p seed oil also exhibits the highest total phenolic content and antioxidant activity compared to all other plant-based oils (with the exception of pumpkin seed oil). Naturally occurring phenolic compounds are known to play a key role in reducing the risk of cancer, relieving systemic inflammation, acting as a powerful antioxidant and promoting free radical elimination.
Chemo-preventive (anti-carcinogenic) properties of h**p seed oil work by causing apoptosis (cell death), inhibiting the cell cycle and preventing the abnormal proliferation of cells characteristic of cancerous tumors.
What science tells us about fish oil:
Obtained from the tissues of “oily” fish (such as sardines, salmon, tuna, anchovies etc.), fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids and two other fatty acids called EPA and DHA. Oily fish themselves do not naturally manufacture omega-3 fatty acids but rather they accumulate it in their tissues by eating other fish that have stored amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and microalgae in their bodies.
Although studies have shown that fish oil may help reduce incidences of cardiovascular disease, its ability to relieve other conditions such as macular degeneration, cognitive decline and depression, as attributed to h**p seed oil, has not been verified.
Unfortunately, fish oils do not contain the perfect balance of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids for the body. Oils from most fish that are used to cultivate fish oil capsules (such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies and sardines) have a profile of around seven time the omega-3 oil as omega-6 oils. H**p seed oil contains the optimal 3:1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids required for body consumption and use.
Fish Oil Warnings
Oil obtained from predatory, “top of the food chain” fish (albacore tuna, swordfish, king mackerel sharks etc.) often contains toxic substances due to biomagnifications, or the increase in the concentration of pollutants as they pass from one food chain link to another. Mercury, chlordane, dioxin and PCBs are toxins potentially ingested by people who consume fish oil. Fish oil also produces peroxides that may cause severe gastrointestinal irritation.
Fish oil spoils very easily compared to h**p seed oil due to the unstable nature of the highly unsaturated DHA and EPA it contains. Many of the fish oil capsules on the market are actually rancid. Unfortunately, the less saturated oil is, the more unstable it is and the faster is degrades. Because h**p seed oil is plant-based, cold pressed, packaged and stored appropriately it does not oxidize and spoil as easily.
Sustainable H**p Seed Oil – Better for the Environment
In addition to being safe to consume, h**p seed oil is more sustainable than fish oil because it does not upset ocean ecosystems and reduce sizable fish populations necessary to support fish living in the upper areas of the food chain. In addition, h**p plants are pest and disease resistant so help reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and provide h**p seeds from which we can cold-press versatile, nutritious and eco-friendly h**p seed oil.
