Refined Hemp Seed Oil: A Nutritional Powerhouse for Pet Foods
As an ingredient buyer in the pet food sector, your mission is to provide the best quality products that promote the health and wellbeing of our animal companions. You're always on the lookout for new, innovative ingredients that can enhance the nutritional profile of pet foods while also being cost-effective and sustainable. Enter Blue Sky Hemp Ventures Refined Hemp Seed Oil — a nutrient-rich marvel that ticks all the right boxes.
What is Refined Hemp Seed Oil?
Derived from hemp seeds, this fully refined, non-GMO oil is an on-trend, healthy, and planet-friendly ingredient. Unlike cold-pressed hemp seed oil, the refined variant undergoes a unique process to remove color, taste, and odor, while retaining 95% of the seeds' fatty acid composition. This includes polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid, essential acids, and healthy fats such as omega-6 and omega-3.
This meticulous process not only results in a superior product, with a longer shelf life - but also offers a more cost-effective solution for various pet food and equine applications. It's important to note that our refined hemp seed oil is entirely free from psychoactive ingredients, ensuring the safety and well-being of your pets and horses.
Why It's Excellent for Pets
The health benefits of hemp seed oil come from its high content of three polyunsaturated fatty acids: linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and gamma-linolenic acid. Additionally, its ratio of omega-6 (linoleic acid) to omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) fatty acids is 3:1. These properties lend this oil particularly well for nutritional applications.
- Nutritional Supplement: The oil serves as a valuable nutritional supplement for pets, providing essential omega-3 fatty acids and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) that are thought to support overall health and well-being.
- Skin and Coat Health: For pets, especially dogs, hemp seed oil acts as an external remedy that could alleviate dry skin, enhance fur and coat quality, and strengthen nails.
- Soreness Relief: The oil may aid in relieving soreness, contributing to joint and muscle health.
- Caloric Source: Extracted from hemp seeds, the oil can be used as a source of calories in pet diets, providing energy for performance and daily activities.
The New Equine Stable Staple
The equestrian community has embraced hemp seed oil, as a revolutionary addition to sport horse feed, nutrition, and performance. Refined hemp seed oil boasts a plethora of benefits with research suggesting the following benefits:
- Proven Anti-inflammatory: Studies show a reduction in inflammatory conditions while providing bone and joint health.
- Hormonal Balance: Free of estrogen mimickers, ensuring hormonal equilibrium.
- Easy Absorption: Naturally lactose, gluten, and trypsin-free for seamless absorption.

While these benefits apply to any hemp seed product, Blue Sky's refined hemp seed oil stands out with its extended shelf stability and affordable price-point. This makes it an ideal choice for larger-scale equine facilities seeking a high quality, cost-effective nutrition solution.
