HEMP HEARTS™ are the Most Concentrated and Best Balanced Source of Proteins, Essential Fats and Vitamins in Nature. Of equal importance, these desirable nutrients are not accompanied in Hemp Hearts with an excess of carbohydrates, sugars, and saturated fats--nutrients which are already eaten in excess and which in the long term have proven to be challenging to human health.
HEMP HEARTS™ (Shelled Hemp Seeds) have been sold in increasing quantities through health food stores, health care professionals and especially to older individuals with chronic health problems. This product is priced and packaged to be eaten in quantity. Hemp Hearts are made fresh daily and remain fresh until consumed because of marketing strategies that favor frequent small shipments and the generous use of free samples by our retailers.
Our customers have become our best sales agents--recommending Hemp Hearts to acquaintances with similar health problems. Our supplier sells more shelled hemp seeds each day than many competitors sell each year -- because of the many health benefits that customers experience by eating Hemp Hearts in quantity. BENEFITS

EXPECT HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE BENEFITS FROM HEMP HEARTS (shelled hemp seeds) AS FOLLOWS:
ENERGY: Expect sufficient energy to increase productivity and better enjoy life. You will not need energy boosts from coffee and other stimulants. You will naturally select less pastries, sweets, candy bars and sugar-based drinks.
Middle aged and older individuals who eat four measuring tablespoons of Hemp Hearts each morning, usually raw on fruit or oat meal, notice increased and long-lasting energy. One elderly lady reported that after her first use of Hemp Hearts she cleaned her entire house--the first time she had experienced abundant energy in 20 years. Another elderly lady who previously found little to value in her life remarked that after Hemp Hearts she often feels like dancing. Because of their increased energy, individuals eating Hemp Hearts in quantity have less inclination to "pep up" with sweet foods, sweet drinks and stimulants.
WEIGHT: Expect to be free of significant hunger until mid-afternoon. Depending on your health and weight, you may choose to miss lunch entirely. You may restrict yourself to a salad in the evening and lose up to one pound per day, 30 pounds per month. Or without hunger, you may often make later food choices for fruit, salads and vegetables knowing that with Hemp Hearts you have already consumed all of the essential fats, proteins and most vitamins and other nutrients necessary for promoting good health. With less hunger you will less frequently select starches and carbohydrates.
APPETITE: Except for those with diabetes and other conditions which require individuals to eat frequently, most of our customers eat four measuring tablespoons of Hemp Hearts early each morning. They frequently report that they are not hungry at lunch time--often only slightly hungry at three o' clock in the afternoon. If they are overweight, they can often skip lunch, eat a salad without dressing in the evening and lose up to one pound per day. Many of our customers report that they have been able to lose 50 pounds in two months. Those who use Hemp Hearts to lose weight are not inclined to regain this lost weight. Those who eat Hemp Hearts regularly experience much less hunger and are therefore less inclined to choose potatoes, pasta, bread and rice. They are more likely to eat fruit, vegetables and smaller meals.
CRAVINGS: Expect reduced cravings for foods with stimulants, sugars, starches and saturated fats. Often marketed effectively by multinational food giants, such foods in excess promote obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, strokes, diabetes and increased susceptibility to cancer and a whole spectrum of diet-related and infectious diseases. A breakfast of Hemp Hearts is a concentrated and balanced source of all required proteins and essential fats: Satisfied by Hemp Hearts your body will not make insatiable demands that result in unhealthy food choices.
DIGESTION: Expect to be untroubled by constipation and less susceptible to intestinal diseases. Hemp Hearts is very easily digested by young and old. Important nutritional benefits are readily transferred to those not yet born. Coarse fibers and plant sterols found in Hemp Hearts are thought to reduce the risk of colon and prostate cancer. Hemp Hearts has none of the anti-nutritional factors that reduce the value of soybeans in many food items. Customers report efficient digestive systems without sluggishness-- able to derive much more benefit from less food. Because they are so easily digested, customers claim that Hemp Hearts have cured or reduced the effects of chronic problems of the digestive system. There are no known allergies to Hemp Hearts. Because they are a well-balanced source of all required proteins, all essential fats and most vitamins, Hemp Hearts are of special benefit to those who are unable to eat gluten, lactose, sugar, fish, nuts, meat and other common foods.
FOOD INTOLERANCE: Expect none of the symptoms of food allergies. Hemp Hearts is especially beneficial to those who are unable for any reason to eat gluten, lactose, saturated fats, sugars, meats, nuts, fish, beans, etc. Using Hemp Hearts it is not difficult to achieve an exciting and nutritionally superior diet without consuming foods associated with food allergies or prohibitions. There is no THC in Hemp Hearts--not even one part per million.
CELLULAR HEALTH: Expect many long-term health benefits. Because Hemp Hearts is one of the best balanced sources of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids, because Hemp Hearts contains only small amounts of saturated and mono-unsaturated fats which can be easily converted to energy, and because Hemp Hearts is also an unsurpassed source of the whole spectrum of required proteins, it promotes vigorous cellular development with diverse health benefits:
Expect reduced cholesterol and blood pressure after three months -- with decreasing probability of stroke.
Expect a reduction in the inflammatory characteristics of many hundreds of diseases.
Expect a more rapid recovery from disease, from radiation treatment and from injury.
Expect improvement in circulation: Diabetics may notice warmer, then less discolored, feet.
Expect a more effective immune system with reduced incidence of all types of disease.
LIFESTYLE: Expect Hemp Hearts to make Living Easy: Hemp Hearts provides great energy, permits weight control without hunger, reduces cravings for inappropriate foods and promotes extensive health benefits, but Hemp Hearts also eliminates any need to be a "food fanatic". Consume the essential nutrients each morning when your body needs "fuel"; Reduce your daily consumption of non-essential sugars, saturated fats and carbohydrates. Don't be confused by those who market high priced products by creating fears about the conventional food industry and who develop and perpetuate obsessions relative to "natural" packaging, "organic" preparations and esoteric biochemistry. Be adaptable: By adding sufficient Hemp Hearts, it is possible to make truly beneficial foods out of much less nutritious food choices. Hemp Hearts is a food ? not a medicine ? but it may be important for certain individuals to have dietary changes monitored by a doctor.
CLINICAL STUDIES: Analysis indicates that Hemp Hearts are unmatched in Nature for their balance of all required proteins, all essential fats and most vitamins. Analysis also indicates that these beneficial nutrients are concentrated in Hemp Hearts with minimal quantities of carbohydrates, saturated fats and sugar. Many clinical studies demonstrate the importance of these proteins and essential fats. Many other studies associate excessive quantities of sugar, saturated fats and carbohydrates with chronic disease. There are also many clinical studies that indicate that hemp products are effective in reducing inflammation and improving circulation--factors of importance in the cure and prevention of disease. A large percentage of our older customers have selected Hemp Hearts in desperation because of failing health: Within three months they often experience significant improvements in cholesterol and blood pressure. Diabetics, especially, report that circulation improves, often to the extent that they no longer fear losing their feet. The inflammatory characteristics of many chronic diseases, particularly arthritis, are often much reduced. Various disorders of the digestive system are also often much improved. The experiences of our customers are consistent with the magnitude of clinical studies that relate to these issues. Many health care professionals have tried Hemp Hearts and are having success with their patients. Most of these professionals attribute their success to the superior balance of proteins and essential fats in Hemp Hearts and to the relative absence of sugar, carbohydrates and saturated fats.
