 Cholesterol Went WAY Up! December 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
After two bottles, daily intake, and two new bottles unopened...
I had bloodwork done after finding out my cholesterol was 199, 9 months later. The doc wasn't worried with the 199 as much as other levels, but just the same, checked cholesterol again 9 months later.
It JUMPED to 241! My LDL's were much higher. I was obviously stunned, and wondered what could I have been doing so differently. Also, thought, "Hey, wait, I thought hemp oil was GREAT for Cholesterol as well as other things." So I began "hit the google."
Research told me that too much Omega 6 is NOT good and raises cholesterol. I went onto read that Americans get too much in their diets already, and that we need to, as many know, UP the Omega 3.
Nutiva Hemp Oil BOASTS about the HIGH Omega 6 ratio! Mystery solved for me and two new bottles went into the trash. (I checked...could not return..."food product.")
I am doing all the things in the book called Cholesterol Down (well most) and am SURE that in a few months, that and NO MORE HEMP Oil...the doc will be amazed at how low my cholesterol will be. You might say, "Well of course, the book," but what is key here is the jump in the first place with NO other changes other than added so much Hemp to my diet.
Hemp seed too. I enjoyed them (forgot to mention I was eating them daily a tablespoon or so on yogurt, oatmeal or salad AFTER checking with Nutiva first if that would be ok) but they too went in the trash as they too are high in Omega 6.
Sorry to leave such a bad review, but 42 point jump? How could I not be truthful.
 Delicious June 12, 2008
Great nutty flavor. And it's good for you. You can't beat that.
Only wish that it could be produced in the US, then it would be cheaper and more plentiful.
Great product!!! May 2, 2008
It has a nutty taste as most articles have related, maybe those who cannot tolerate the taste are just genetically predisposed to not like it?? Whats not to like with all the INCREDIBLE benefits of this oil - omega 3, 6, and 9, GLA, most suitably balanced for human consumption...... the list goes on...

I began using this product and another (Harmonic Innerprizes LifeSource Supersprouts powder) at the same time. I put both products in a fruit smoothie every morning as my breakfast. I don't know if it's one or the other, or a combination of both products, but since I've started this routine, I finally have the energy to get through the full day! It's not an "extra energy" feeling, I just finally feel like I have the normal amount of energy that a 30-yr old person in relatively good shape should have. I exercise regularly and eat well for the most part, and I never knew why I was always feeling run-down. I even asked my doctor and had bloodwork done, and everything is functioning normally...and also went on an energy drink kick for a while because it seemed the only way to not feel like I could take a nap at any given moment. I was recommended both products by a local health food store simply for added nutrition and Omega 3 and 6 acids, and the energy benefit was just an added bonus I guess! Even if you don't need energy, I was told that Hemp oil is the most natural source of Omega 3 & 6 acids, and it is the type of nutritional oil most completely absorbed by the body. Definitely give it a try, it's a great product!
Good tasting and Good for you December 29, 2007

I was worried when buying this about the taste. I absolutely hate the taste of flax seed oil, even in smoothies. After reading up on the benefits of hemp I decided to give hemp seed oil a try. This stuff is 100 times better than flax oil. It has a light nutty taste, almost like the peanut oil in natural peanut butters. I take 2 tablespoons of this stuff straight every morning.
Nutiva Hempseed Oil, along with Nutiva's Hempshakes definitely leave me feeling healthy and energized all day. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to balance out their Omega 3/Omega 6 ratio and get healthy.
