A: 1.Recommended dosage for the Gelcaps is 6 per day. However as with any supplement begin slowly start with 2, after a few days up to 4, and after a few more days 6. For Optimum health (recommended by the world health organization) take 1 TB per day. Also begin slowly with 1 tsp., then after a week 2tsp and then a full TB. You can also incorporate this flavorful nutty oil in your favorite sauces, spreads, dips or salad dressings.
Q: 2. Are there any side effects?
A: 2. No, but you could experience an extra visit to the rest room.
Q: 3. Are there any precautions?
A: 3. As with any supplement check with your doctor first if you have any concerns.Omega Oils act as natural blood thinner so if you are on anti-coagulants check with your doctor first.
Q: 4. Can I give this oil to my pets?
A: 4. Yes, all mammals require the same Essential Fatty Acids as humans. Dosage: relative to size, up to 5ml of “Natures Perfect Oil” or as recommended by your veterinarian. Ex. 1 ml per 10 lbs. increasing 1/2ml for each additional 10 lbs. As always begin slowly.
Q: 5. Is hemp seed oil legal?
A: 5. Yes, hemp seed oil is legal in over 35 countries worldwide including USA, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, and France to name a few. Hemp oil and hemp derivatives can be legally imported sold or consumed in the USA, where hemp presently remains illegal to grow and cultivate.
Q: 6. Will Hemp products make me high?
A: 6. NO! absolutely not. The trace levels of THC present in hemp derivatives do not provide anywhere near the potency (percentage of THC by weight) required to give the consumer a drug high. Our oil is non-detectable of THC.
Q: 7. Are hemp and marijuana the same thing?
A: 7. Hemp and marijuana are very different varieties from the same plant species cannabis sativa L. The major difference between the two varieties is the level of THC, the psychoactive ingredient found at levels between 5-20% in marijuana while at trace levels of 0.00003% or less in hemp (maximum allowable limit).
Q: 8. Is there any research on the medicinal properties of hemp oil?
A: 8. Yes, please check the reference article section on this site and we encourage you to do some of your own research as there is tremendous documentation from Doctors, Scientists and Universities around the world.
Q: 9. Can the oil become Toxic or Rancid?
A: 9. Natures Perfect Oil is naturally preserved with Vitamin E. The gelcaps are sealed and do not require refrigeration. The oil however must be refrigerated after opening, and used within 4 months. It is not recommended for frying or heating above 150ºC/300ºF, which can damage or destroy its delicate properties.
Q: 10. Can I give this product to my children?
A: 10. Yes, and we highly recommend that you do. So many children are deficient because of our fast, fried, and processed food diets. More then $128 billion is spent each year on snack and junk food and there is evidence that what we eat as kids affects our later risk of heart disease and premature death, four of the leading killers of Americans are associated with our diet. They include heart disease, some types of cancer, stroke, and diabetes. Poor diets promote obesity, ADD, constipation, and many other childhood health issues. Essential Fatty Acids are necessary nutrients that kids ESPECIALLY do not get enough of. The worse the diet is, the higher the EFA intake should be.
Q: 11. Why are Essential Fatty Acids more important than most vitamins?
A: 11. EFAs perform KEY FUNCTIONS in our cells and tissues that the body CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT. We must have them to live and be healthy. Our bodies cannot produce them from other substances, therefore we MUST obtain them form other sources. They are renowned for their remarkable healing and balancing properties. They assist in the function of the digestive, cardiovascular, immune and glandular system. They work at every aspect of the cellular level & carry oxygen to all the cells so food can be burned as energy. They are important for weight loss and weight management. They help our bodies absorb sunlight which gives us vitamin D to build strong bones. They are important for muscle heart function, inflammation, healing, regulating blood pressure, mental vitality, also VERY VERY important in the fight against breast & prostrate cancer. In other words everything!!!
Q: 12. What can happen if we do not get the required Essential Fatty Acids in our diet?
A: 12. When we are deficient in Essential Fatty Acids it will result in gradual deterioration of cells and tissues, an ultimately in death if the deficiency is severe enough. If we increase our intake to adequate levels it can help to reverse the signs brought about by the deficiency. The more deficient our diets are the greater risk we have of developing health problems. Some complications that can develope are liver damage, stiff and painful joints, pain, hair loss, kidney problems, drying up of glands, infections, miscarriages, retardation, arthritis, weakness, impaired vision, skin conditions, cancer, in other words just about anything.
Q: 13. What are the
chances of failing a drug screening test?
A: 13. Recently, several studies
have shown that based on the trace of THC present in today's hemp food and
body care products, that the chances of being tested and obtaining a
"false" positive drug test is very unlikely (just about impossible!) See

Q:
14. How does Natures Perfect Oil compare to other EFAs?
A: 14. Natures Perfect Oil:
• Contains 3, 6. & 9 Omega oils * all balanced in the exact ratio our
bodies require
• 100 % natural & pure
• More effective because of the natural synergy**
• Non-toxic because it contains Vitamin E, a natural preservative
• Quality control processing to ensure freshness at every step to ensure
natural integrity.
• No preservatives, additives, herbicides, or pesticides.
• Affordable
• Simplifies our EFA requirements
• Contains GLA- gamma Linolenic Acid, a building block of life
• Contains plant sterols & sterolins, now one of the most widely
researched plant botanicals.***
Borage oil- a good oil except for
toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids
Flax seed – the problem is
freshness, unless it comes right from the press and you freeze it the
deterioration process has already began.
Fish Oil – so many sources are no
longer considered safe because of
there toxic contaminants & may be less effective than linolenic acid in
increasing prostaglandin E1.
* Omega oils 3,6, & 9:There are three
"Essential Fatty Acids".
The human body can synthesize all the
fatty acids it needs from carbohydrates,fats and proteins for the diet
except for linoleic, linolenic, and acrachidronic acids.
These polyunsaturated fatty acids cannot
be made from the breakdown of other substances in the body:They must be
supplied by the diet & are therefore called essential.
They are necessary for normal growth,
healthy blood, arteries, nerves & necessary for the transport &
breakdown of cholesterol.
NOTE:If we supplement our diet with only
one Omega oil, a deficiency of another may be created, in other words we
should use a source with all 3 in the correct ratio the body requires and
also from a natural composition.
**Synergy- the interaction of two or
more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater then the
sum of their individual effects.
***Sterols & Sterolins: Some of the richest sources are found in seeds
(the embryonic life force of plants). The purpose & function of sterols
and sterolins is to bolster an under active immune system & turn off an
overactive system. They help to balance the cells of the immune system so
they can function
optimally. They also block abnormal production of inflammatory proteins.
The modern diet is greatly lacking in plant sterols and sterolins.
