Why hemp supplements?
The nutritional benefits of hemp are
numerous, but it’s also an incredible mood
and mind booster. Lauded as a huge part of
the next generation of natural relief for mind,
body and soul, hemp is an excellent
supplement to combat daily stress and
research has long-revealed that high levels of
optimism can lead to a better diet, regular
exercise and lower stress.
Hemp capsules contain phytocannabinoids
– natural substances found in cannabis sativa
plants. When we absorb them, they interact
with our nervous system, brain and immune
system. They do this by helping to increase the
activity of natural chemicals produced in our
own body known as endocannabinoids (note
that despite the name, endocannabinoids
themselves are not from cannabis – they were
simply named after it). Endocannabinoids
have effects on many systems and
processes in our body, including digestion
and appetite, mood, stress response and our
immune system.
NATURES PLUS HEMPCEUTIX COMPLETE
“These capsules offer a full spectrum of phytocannabinoids
from hemp – not just cannabidiol (CBD), but phytocannabinoids,
terpene and phytonutrients that give the potential of a broader
and more synergistic effect in the body,” explains Martina. “Did
you know phytocannabinoids are also found in clove, oregano,
rosemary, flax seeds, and carrots? These different forms are
contributing to the full spectrum and full effect. Hempceutix
are all emulsified products making their absorption greater. As
well as this, these products include cannasorb, which are a blend
of specific herbal extracts, including sunflower lecithin, black
pepper, acacia and cacao that help to boost the absorption,
whilst also providing a slow release effect into the body. A 5mg
per serving (£39.95, www.naturesplus.co.uk) and a 15mg (£99.95,
www.naturesplus.co.uk) per serving of Complete Phytocannabinoids offer different doses
for all needs and different sensitivities.”
With a little help from Martina Della Vedova,
a nutritionist at Natures Plus, we’ve chosen

that’s finally hitting the headlines for all of the
