Most hemp supplements, the ones lining the shelves, the ones your friends tried, the ones advertised everywhere, are made from heated hemp.
Here's what most people don't know about heated hemp: the heat destroys the natural compounds, and makes it poorly absorbed.
The hemp plant naturally makes raw, natural compounds that are not found in almost all hemp products. It's only when manufacturers heat the plant during processing that these compounds convert into something different.
That heating step? It's done out of habit and cost efficiency, not because it's better for your body.
In fact, it's significantly worse.
Colin's research, backed by 100's of studies now, found that your body absorbs the raw, unheated form over 500% better than standard hemp products.
Some studies show the difference is even larger.
But there's another piece that explains why this matters specifically for stress that shows up in your body.
Natural hemp compounds interacts directly with the 5-HT serotonin receptor system, the same system that governs not just your mood, but your body's physical response to tension and stress.
This is why it doesn't just take the edge off emotionally.
It works on the cycle where stress becomes physical: the tight muscles, the restless evenings, the nights your body won't let itself unwind.
Standard hemp barely gets there. The raw compound does.
That's the piece the industry had been missing.
