Hemp seed oil has a rich profile of fatty acids, nutrients and valuable bioactive vitamins and minerals. The oil is well-known for being nutrient-rich and for its general health benefits. It consists of healthy fatty acids, protein and carbohydrates. 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 help to support healthy cholesterol levels and immune system functionand may help regulate your metabolism.

Both marijuana and hemp are varieties of the cannabis plant (hemp is Cannabis sativa, while marijuana is Cannabis indica). The main difference between hemp and marijuana is that while marijuana contains up to 30% of the psychoactive compound called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), hemp contains virtually none (typically below 0.3%). So essentially, marijuana will get you high, and hemp will not. Hemp oil is produced from cold-pressing industrial hemp seeds. OUR GUMMIES CONTAIN NO CBD OR THC, so you will pass any drug test.

While Rapha Herbals doesn’t sell pure hemp seed oil, there are many ways to incorporate it into your routine. Hemp seed oil can be:

There are no psychoactive ingredients in the gummies because the THC has been removed. The gummies are also nonaddictive.

You can travel within Australia with no issues. Regarding international travel, you are best to do your own research on which countries will allow a hemp based product.  There may be some countries that have a strict rule regarding the hemp emblem that will not allow the product based on that. 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. 

Edibles, such as gummies, take 15–30 minutes to take effect. After consumption, the body absorbs edibles in the digestive tract before the active ingredients enter the bloodstream and travel to the liver. The liver metabolisesthe ingredients, which once again enter the bloodstream and reach the brain. Here, 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 enjoy the full benefits, and every day your body will relax, respond and restore itself.

Calm & Focus

For best results, take 1 gummy in the morning and another in the early afternoon. Avoid taking them late in the evening unless you need to study or work late, as they can boost your mental energy and alertness.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you can take an additional gummy as needed. Gummies can also be cut in half for a smaller dose. 

For personalised guidance on dosage, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider.

Sleep & Relief Gummies

Take one to two Gummies at night for sleep and physical relief.  Start with 1 gummy and if you require more, add another ½ to 1. If you are a person who gets to sleep easily but wakes in the middle of the night, you can take the gummy then.

Make sure there is a four-hour interval between taking the gummy and the time you want to wake up to ensure you don’t feel groggy. Adjust the gummy amount to suit your body's requirements. Some people may need more, some less. Do not take more than three gummies per day.

Some people prefer to take a sleep gummy as a stronger calmative in the daytime. Start with a ½ first to see how it affects you.

Yes, we recommend you consult your medical practitioner before consuming the product and ingredients for any possible allergies and adverse effects from the current medication you may be taking.

Discontinue use and consult a medical doctor immediately if you experience unusual symptoms. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing.

It is not recommended for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, with liver or heart disease or heart issues, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Additionally, it is not recommended for those with Downs Syndrome and those on Epilepsy Medication.

The gummies contain 5-HTP and it's not recommended to take 5-HTP less than two weeks before surgery as it may interfere with some drugs commonly used during surgical procedures.

It’s generally safe to take sleep gummies every night. Take one to two gummies about 30 minutes before bed. If preferred, you can cut the gummies in half for a smaller dose.

If you’ve never taken 5-HTP before, your brain may experience a serotonin boost that could initially make you feel alert rather than sleepy. This effect typically subsides within five to seven days as your body adjusts. 

To avoid interruptions to your schedule, consider testing them on a non-working day first. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider for personalised advice on dosage and suitability.

We recommend 1 night per week or 1 weekend per month, do not take any gummies to reset your system and keep the gummies working at maximum productivity.

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 in order to increase serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin helps in regulating deep sleep and so by increasing serotonin levels, 5-HTP can help  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 is 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, this is why you may have some strange and vivid dreams. It usually only happens in the first few nights of taking the gummies, as your body adjusts to the extra boost of serotonin. If you are finding they persist, consider taking half a gummy instead.

The additional boost of serotonin from the 5-HTP can at the beginning make your brain excited and awake. This generally only lasts a few days to 1 week and then you will settle down and adjust to this increased amount of serotonin and have much deeper sleeps.

You can give hemp to people of any age, but 5-HTPhas not been researched enough to determine how safe it is in children.
