Detoxification
On a daily basis, the human body is exposed to toxins that can put pressure on the body’s natural metabolic detoxification capacity. Improper clearance of toxins may play a role in obesity, cardiovascular disease, neurocognitive concerns, immune dysfunction, chemical intolerance, and reproductive and developmental concerns.
Hemp & the Endocannabinoid System

Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can improve metabolic parameters like blood pressure, lipid profiles, and insulin sensitivity. Studies of omega-3s have also showed a link to addressing chronic inflammation and chronic conditions like heart disease and stroke.
