The effect of hemp product consumption on blood fatty acid profiles and cardiovascular disease risk factors: Results of a randomized, double-blind, crossover clinical trial
To examine the effects of hemp product consumption on blood fatty acid profiles and cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Randomized, double-blind, crossover design
Participants consumed hemp products
Measurement of blood fatty acid profiles and cardiovascular risk factors before and after consumption.
Increased levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids observed
Notable changes in specific fatty acids including GLA, SDA, ALA, and LA
Implications for cardiovascular health were analyzed.
Abstract
