ORIGINAL ALTAY hemp oil is an edible oil made from hemp seeds by cold pressing. Its nutritional interest comes mostly from its naturally occurring fatty acid profile. The oil contains omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which the body cannot produce on its own and must obtain from food. These fats are part of cell membranes and are involved in everyday physiological processes. For people who want more unsaturated fats in meals without changing their usual eating pattern, using a seed oil in cold dishes can be a simple choice.
The oil also contains phytosterols, plant substances with a structure similar to cholesterol. In nutrition, foods with phytosterols are of interest because they can complement a balanced diet built around plant-based fats. In addition, the oil contains antioxidant compounds, which help protect the oil’s delicate components from oxidation and add nutritional value.
Because the oil is cold-pressed, its natural aroma and sensitive fat fractions are better preserved than they would be after high-temperature processing. This makes it practical for meals where the oil is tasted directly. It is a food, not a medicine, and it is not a substitute for a varied diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, follow a medically restricted diet, or take anticoagulants, talk to a doctor before using it regularly.
