Nature’s Perfect Balance: The Power of Hemp Oil

Why Hemp Oil Is the Most Balanced

Plant-Based Omega Source

 

When it comes to plant-based nutrition, balance is everything.

Few natural oils deliver the harmony of essential fatty acids found in hemp seed oil. Naturally rich in both Omega-6 and Omega-3 fats in a nearly perfect 3:1 ratio, hemp oil mirrors the ratio our bodies need to maintain heart, brain, and skin health.

At Laketown Mills, we press our hemp seeds mechanically—never chemically—to create a cold-pressed oil that’s as close to its natural state as possible. The result is a clean, nutty-tasting oil packed with nutrients and made from sustainably grown hemp right here in the U.S.


The Science Behind the Omegas

Omega fatty acids are essential fats—meaning our bodies can’t produce them on their own. They must come from our diet.

  • Omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) supports heart health, reduces inflammation, and helps maintain brain and nerve function.

  • Omega-6 (linoleic acid) plays an important role in skin and hair growth, bone health, and metabolism.

The key is balance. Many modern diets contain far too much Omega-6 and not enough Omega-3, creating an imbalance that can lead to inflammation. Hemp seed oil’s natural 3:1 ratio is considered ideal for maintaining equilibrium between these vital nutrients.


What Makes Hemp Oil Unique

Unlike many plant oils, hemp oil offers more than just Omega-3 and Omega-6—it also contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a rare anti-inflammatory Omega-6 fatty acid found in very few foods. GLA contributes to hormone balance, supports joint health, and promotes smooth, healthy skin.

Additionally, hemp oil provides small amounts of stearidonic acid (SDA), an Omega-3 fatty acid that’s easily converted by the body into EPA, making it a superior vegan-friendly omega source compared to many other plant oils.


Cold-Pressed for Purity and Quality

At Hemp Acres, our oil is cold-pressed, meaning it’s extracted mechanically without heat or solvents. This gentle method preserves the oil’s natural color, aroma, and delicate nutrient profile.

  • No chemical extraction.

  • Just pure, fresh-pressed hemp oil.

The result is a premium-quality ingredient with a clean flavor and excellent stability—ideal for natural food products, supplements, and skincare formulations.
