12. Hormone Balance
Imbalance of hormones can cause many health issues. In women, an imbalance of prolactin may be responsible for premenstrual syndrome. Prostaglandin is often used to help reduce the effects of a prolactin imbalance, which can reduce some of the symptoms associated with PMS. Gamma-linolenic acid is one of the essential building blocks for prostaglandin. GLA is found in hemp seed oil.
One study found that women taking a gram of GLA each day saw a decrease in their symptoms of PMS. Additionally, GLA is thought to help regulate imbalanced hormones and inflammation that are associated with menopause. Adding hemp seed oil to your diet may go a long way when it comes to reducing the symptoms that a woman may experience as a result of premenstrual syndrome as it can help balance out their hormone levels. It may also help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with menopause.
