Aussie Legends Hemp

Will using hemp seed oil affect a workplace drug test?

It's highly unlikely. Australian research indicates that THC from low THC hemp seed foods is not expected to show up in urine samples tested to the Australian Standard (AS/NZS 4308:2008) or in oral fluid testing. If you have a safety sensitive role and want to be extra cautious, it's worth checking with your employer or GP beforehand. You can read the Australian Government's guidance on hemp products here.

Is hemp seed oil a drug, or will it get me high?

No. Hemp seed oil is pressed from the seed of the hemp plant only, not the rest of the cannabis plant. Under Australian food law, hemp seed oil sold as a food must contain no more than 75mg per kg total cannabidiol and no more than 50mg per kg total THC, levels far too low to produce any psychoactive effect. A product above those thresholds is classified as a therapeutic good and requires a doctor's prescription.

Is it legal to buy and consume hemp seed oil in Australia?

Yes. Hemp was legalised as a food in Australia in November 2017 under the Food Standards Code, provided it stays within the total CBD and THC limits above. Every bottle of Aussie Legends Hemp Seed Oil we stock meets these food safety requirements.

What exactly is hemp seed oil, and how is it made?

Hemp seed oil is produced by cold pressing the seeds of the industrial hemp plant until the natural oil is released. Because it comes only from the seed, it carries the plant's nutritional benefits, including omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids, without any of the compounds associated with cannabis use.

Does hemp seed oil contain THC?

Only in trace amounts, if any at all. No brand can honestly claim a product is "100% THC free," since testing can only confirm levels are below a detectable threshold. Aussie Legends Hemp's oil is kept well within Australia's legal limit of 50mg per kg total THC, low enough that you won't notice any effect from it.

Where does Aussie Legends source its hemp seed?

Aussie Legends Hemp uses seed grown in Australia and in Canada. The Australian seed is grown in nutrient rich soil, while the cooler Canadian climate produces oil with extra chlorophyll, amino acids and fatty acids. Blending the two is part of what gives the Aussie Legend Premium range its AAA grade.

What makes Aussie Legends' oil "AAA premium grade"?

A few things set it apart. The seed husk is left on during cold pressing, which keeps the omega oils fresher. The oil isn't force filtered, instead it's left to settle naturally for around six weeks so only the purest, chlorophyll rich oil is bottled, with the lower quality sediment left behind. A natural antioxidant is also added to help slow oxidation, since omega rich oils can turn rancid quickly once exposed to air or light.

Where is the oil bottled, and is it quality controlled?

Every batch is bottled in a Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) registered facility, rather than at a home address, which is still common practice among some smaller hemp seed oil sellers. This helps ensure consistent, safe production from cultivation through to the bottle.

How do I use hemp seed oil day to day?

Most people take one to two teaspoons daily, stirred into a smoothie or drizzled over food once it's cooked, since heat breaks down its beneficial fats. For a full daily routine, including dosage for capsules and how to tell if a bottle has turned, see our guide to using hemp seed oil every day.

Is it safe to take alongside medication?

Generally yes, but if you're on blood pressure or blood thinning medication, it's worth starting with a smaller amount and increasing gradually over a few weeks, and checking with your GP first. As with any supplement, speak with your doctor if you're pregnant, breastfeeding or managing an existing health condition.

How should I store it, and how long does it last?

Keep it in a cool, dark place, and refrigerate it once opened to protect the delicate fats from heat and light. Each bottle carries its own best before date, printed on the label.

Is Aussie Legends Hemp an Australian owned company?

Yes. Aussie Legends Hemp has been operating since 2018 and is a family run, 100% Australian owned and operated business. Holy Trinity Mind Body Soul is proud to stock their range as an authorised reseller.
