What do you guys know about Hempseed Oil? A guy was telling me its not too popular yet because it hasnt been around as long as Flax, but it is actually better. What are your views on this? I bought 16oz. of the shit, so it better work. haha! ------------------     | ||

Milk is for babies when your grow up you drink beer. Henry Weinhards pale ale at the moment. anyway... I was wondering the same thing?? hemp oil is a little more $$$ but it has more omega 6 fatty acids than flax which is what is needed most in the COMMON DIET. either oil will be fine. Hemp oil isn't going to make you GAIN more than flax would if you were to use one or the other on a regular basis | ||

As I understand it, Hemp Oil has a more balanced ratio of Omega 3 and Omaga 6's. However, Omega 6's are readily available in most people's diets while Omega 3's are not. Therefore it makes more sense to take flax seed oil with it's richer Omega 3 content to bring your overall dietary intake of the two closer together. ------------------ | ||

Sounds good to me. I already have some Hemp Oil though, but only 16oz. of it. Got it fairly cheap at Proteinfactory.com. The guy there told me that Hemp was better than Flax, but i dont know. I guess i should just use both. ------------------ | ||
