Hemp (Cannibis Vulgaris) as a nutraceutical for animals
The oil pressed from the hemp seeds contains the highest concentration of essential fatty acids (omega 6,omega 3 and GLA) of any all natural plant source. In addition, the hemp seed is also very high in digestible protein. There is increasing scientific evidence that omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids may play important roles in animals with conditions such as pruritic skin disease, atopic dermatitis, allergies, degenerative joint disease, neoplasia, thromboembolic disease and eosinophilic granuloma complex.
