Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Hemp Seed Oil 1000 mg. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts typically found in foods (7141,7142,7144). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of alpha-linolenic acid when used in larger, medicinal amounts.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in amounts typically found in foods (7141,7142,7145).
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of alpha-linolenic acid during pregnancy and lactation when used in larger, medicinal amounts; avoid using.
LIKELY SAFE ...when hemp seed, hemp protein, and hemp seed oil are used orally in food amounts. Hulled hemp seed, hemp seed protein powder, and hemp seed oil are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in the US (100531).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when hemp seed oil is used orally and appropriately as medicine, short-term. Hemp seed oil in doses of 2-6.3 grams daily has been safely used for 3-6 months (88183,16791,101145). Hemp seed oil in doses of 30 mL (27.6 grams) daily has been used safely for 2 months (101125). There is insufficient reliable evidence available about the safety of hemp oil, flowers, or leaves.
CHILDREN:
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of hemp in children.
Adverse effects have been noted in case reports, but details related to specific hemp products are limited (101153,110287).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in food amounts. Edible oils containing high amounts of oleic acid are commonly used in foods (26466,90681,94452,101821,101824,101828,101830,101838). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of oleic acid when used as medicine.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using in amounts greater than those commonly found in foods.
Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Hemp Seed Oil 1000 mg. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
Theoretically, consuming hemp seed protein isolate with ACE inhibitors might have additive effects and increase the risk of hypotension.
 Details
|
Theoretically, hemp seed might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
Details
|
Theoretically, hemp seed protein may have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Details
In a hypertensive animal model, hemp seed protein hydrolysate reduced systolic blood pressure by a mechanism possibly involving the inhibition of renin and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activities. However, there was no effect of hemp seed protein on blood pressure in normotensive animals (101136). Furthermore, hempseed oil consumption does not seem to reduce blood pressure in humans (101144).
|
Theoretically, hemp might interfere with hormone therapy due to its estrogenic effects.
Details
In an ovariectomized animal model, a diet containing hemp seed 1%, 2%, or 10% resulted in normalized plasma levels of 17-beta-estradiol (101132). The mechanism of action for this effect is unclear.
|
Theoretically, oleic acid might increase the effects of antidiabetes drugs. Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes taking oral hypoglycemic drugs shows that eating a diet rich in oleic acid from olive oil decreases fasting blood glucose levels when compared to eating a diet rich in linoleic acid from sunflower oil (8132). It is unknown if taking oleic acid supplements would have this effect or if this change is clinically significant. Until more is known, use caution. Dose adjustment may be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Hemp Seed Oil 1000 mg. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...Orally, alpha-linolenic acid from dietary sources is well tolerated when used in the diet as a replacement for other sources of fat, such as saturated fats.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: There is some concern that high dietary intake of alpha-linolenic acid might increase the risk for prostate cancer, although research is conflicting.
Oncologic ...Epidemiologic research suggests that high dietary intake of alpha-linolenic acid might increase risk for prostate cancer (1337,2558,7823,7147,12978). Other research suggests high intake or serum levels of alpha-linolenic acid does not increase the overall risk of prostate cancer (12961,15736); however, it might increase the risk of advanced prostate cancer (12961). Association with prostate cancer appears to depend on the sources of alpha-linolenic acid. Dairy and meat sources has been positively associated with prostate cancer, whereas plant sources, such as flaxseed, don't seem to affect prostate cancer risk (12909). According to a clinical trial, intake of alpha-linolenic acid does not appear to increase levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) (91402). Also, longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids in fish oils are associated with a decreased risk of total and advanced prostate cancer (12961).
Other ...Alpha-linolenic acid is a type of fat, containing 9 kilocalories/gram, and may result in weight gain if consumed in excess. Patients should be advised that it's best to substitute alpha-linolenic acid in the diet for other sources of fat, such as saturated fats.
General
...Orally, hemp products are generally well tolerated in food amounts.
In larger amounts, hemp seed oil seems to be well tolerated.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Rare cases of anaphylaxis have been reported. Long QT syndrome, torsades de pointes, and syncope have also been reported rarely.
Cardiovascular ...Acquired long QT syndrome, torsades de pointes, and syncope have been reported in a 56-year-old woman following the intake of supplements containing hemp oil. The hemp supplements provided cannabidiol (CBD), and possibly cannabigerol (CBG). Although the exact dose is unknown, up to six times the recommended dose had been used for approximately 6 weeks, in combination with a supplement containing berberine. While hospitalized, intravenous magnesium and saline were used to stabilize heart rhythm. It is unknown whether this adverse effect was related to the hemp oil, berberine, or their interaction (110104).
Hepatic ...Orally, there is a case report of elevated liver enzymes and hepatitis in a two-year-old boy given hemp extract 2. 5 mL, providing 125 mg phytocannabinoid, five to eight times daily for infantile spasms and refractory seizures. The total dose of phytocannabinoids was approximately 60-100 mg/kg daily (110287).
Immunologic
...Orally, there are case reports of allergy to hemp seed, although this is uncommon (101140,101154).
A 44-year-old male developed hives during a meal of hemp seed-crusted seafoods. Later, he developed facial swelling, shortness of breath, and problems speaking. Evaluation revealed allergy to a specific protein in hemp seed. He did not react to smoked cannabis (101140). In other cases, anaphylaxis, facial swelling, and worsening asthma have been reported in association with a first exposure to hemp seed, although some had smoked cannabis previously (101154).
Topically, a case of patch-test confirmed allergic contact dermatitis to hemp seed oil has been reported in a 22-year-old woman. The initial rash started at the application point on her back and spread to her arms, hands, and neck (110288).
Airborne exposure to hemp pollen is a relatively common cause of allergic respiratory symptoms in some locations (101155).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, cases of acute cannabinoid toxicity with neurological symptoms in children and adults have been associated with intake of hemp seed oil. There is a case report of decreased alertness, stupor, bloodshot eyes, and fixed gaze in a 2-year-old male probably related to the intake of one teaspoon hemp seed oil (CANAH) containing 0.06% delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) twice daily for 3 weeks. After stopping the oil, irritability was reported over the next few days (101153).
General ...Orally, oleic acid generally well tolerated when used as part of oils and fats in the diet (26466,90681,94452,101821,101824,101828,101830,101838). Temporary burning in the mouth or throat has occurred in some patients (101848).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, oleic acid has caused temporary burning in the mouth or throat in some patients in one clinical study (101848).
