FAQ

Hemp seed oil has a rich profile of fatty acids, nutrients and valuable bioactive vitamins and minerals. The many positive health effects of hemp seed oil are linked to the 3:1 ratio of linoleic (LA) and a-linolenic acid (LNA) — two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids that particularly benefit the heart.

At this ratio, these fatty acids promote healthy cholesterol levels, better immune system function and may help regulate your metabolism. They're also a great protein source and are high in vitamin E, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulphur, calcium, iron and zinc.

Hemp is known for its wide range of potential health benefits, supporting both physical and mental wellbeing. It may help with:

• Hormone balance
• Reducing anxiety and mood fluctuations
• Promoting heart health
• Supporting weight management
• Moisturising and alleviating skin conditions
• Boosting immune function
• Powerful anti-inflammatory properties for discomfort relief
• Improving brain function
• Aiding digestion
• Helping regulate blood sugar levels
• Encouraging healthy hair growth

Marijuana and hemp are both varieties of the Cannabis plant. Hemp is Cannabis Sativa, and marijuana is Cannabis Indica. The primary difference between them is that marijuana contains about 30% of the psychoactive compound called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), while hemp has virtually none (often below 0.3%).

Essentially, marijuana will get you high and hemp will not. Hemp oil, the primary ingredient of our gummies, is produced from cold-pressing industrial hemp seeds. OUR GUMMIES CONTAIN NO CBD OR THC, so you will pass any drug test.

No. There are no psychoactive ingredients in the gummies because the THC has been removed. The gummies are also non-addictive.

Absolutely! You can travel nationally and internationally. Our hemp contains no THC and is non-intoxicating. Ensure you take your gummies with you in their original packaging to show any customs officials that it clearly states there is no THC.

Note: Some countries have strict regulations on hemp-related products, including those with a hemp emblem on the packaging. It's always best to check the specific import laws of your destination before travelling.

Edibles, such as gummies, take about 30 to 60 minutes to take effect. Upon consumption, your body absorbs the gummies in the digestive tract before the active ingredients enter the bloodstream and reach the liver. The liver then metabolises the ingredients, then sends them back to the bloodstream and to the brain.

In the brain, they start to take effect, although some people may experience a longer or shorter onset time. When you eat a hemp gummy, the essential compounds are absorbed directly into cells through the digestive system. Because hemp gummies are a herbal product, they do require you to take your daily dose to receive the maximum effects. It will take approximately 7–10 days for the gummies to build up in your body and for you to enjoy the full benefits. Take it daily, and your body will relax, respond and restore itself.

It's always best to start with one gummy, and if you require more, add half a gummy more before going straight to 2 gummies. If you are a person who gets to sleep easily but tends to wake up in the middle of the night, you can take the gummy then. Make sure there is at least a 4-hour interval between taking the gummy and the time you intend to wake up to ensure you don't feel groggy. Adjust the amount to suit your body's requirements. Some people may need more, some less. Do not take more than three gummies daily.

Take 1 in the morning and 1 in the early afternoon if required.

If you are taking both the sleep and calm gummies, do not exceed 2 of each gummy per day.

The gummies contain 5 HTP, which is not recommended less than two weeks before surgery, as they may interfere with drugs commonly used during surgical procedures.

Yes, you can, but keep in mind the gummies have ingredients in them that cause you drowsiness, so when mixed with alcohol, they could cause further intoxication.

It is the immediate precursor to serotonin, and since it crosses the blood-brain barrier, it is often taken before bed to increase serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin helps regulate deep sleep, and so by increasing serotonin levels, 5-HTP can help to lengthen deep sleep cycles during the first part of the night. Your brain then realises that it does not need any more deep sleep and gives you what's referred to as a "REM rebound", which is extra long REM cycles during the second half of the night.

Since most lucid dreams occur during REM sleep, you may have some strange and vivid dreams. It usually only happens on the first few nights of taking the gummies as your body adjusts to the extra serotonin boost. If you find these dreams persist, consider taking half a gummy instead, or cease taking.

The additional boost of serotonin from the 5-HTP can initially make your brain excited and awake. This generally only lasts a few days to a week, and then you will settle down and adjust to this increased amount of serotonin and have much deeper sleep.

You can give hemp to people of any age, but please be aware that 5 HTP has not been researched enough to determine how safe it is in children. Consult your doctor before administering them to your children, especially if they are already taking medication.

All medications and supplements become less effective over time because our body becomes desensitised to them. We often need to increase the dose to keep them at the desired level of effectiveness. We recommend that one night per fortnight or one weekend a month,  you cease taking the gummies to give your system a reboot. You will find this a very effective way of keeping your gummies doing their job.

We recommend seeking your doctor's advice prior to taking the gummies to ensure they are safe to take with the medications you are currently taking.

The gummies have a two-year shelf life. Check the expiration date at the bottom of the box. Store the gummies in a cool, dry place, avoiding excess sunlight. Do not store it in the fridge.
