Hemp Shell Gut Health

Bioactives in Hemp Shell: A Game Changer for Gut Health

The hemp plant is well known for its nutritional and therapeutic benefits, but recent research highlights an often-overlooked component: bioactives found in hemp shell. These natural compounds are proving to be a powerful ally for gut health, thanks to their ability to support the gut microbiome, digestion, and overall well-being.

What Are Bioactives?

Bioactives are naturally occurring compounds in plants that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. In hemp shell, these bioactives include:

NCTs (Nutrient-Converting Triterpenoids) – Help regulate gut microbiota and enhance nutrient absorption.
NFTs (Natural Fiber Triterpenoids) – Promote gut lining integrity and support a healthy microbiome.

The Gut-Boosting Power of Hemp Shell Bioactives

Scientific studies have shown that bioactives in hemp shells can:

✔️ Support the Gut Microbiome – Bioactives act as prebiotics, feeding beneficial gut bacteria and promoting microbial balance.
✔️ Enhance Digestion & Nutrient Absorption – NCTs help the body absorb essential nutrients more efficiently.
✔️ Strengthen Gut Barrier Function – NFT compounds contribute to gut lining health, reducing inflammation and preventing leaky gut syndrome.
✔️ Reduce Inflammation – Hemp shell bioactives have anti-inflammatory properties, which help with gut-related conditions like IBS and Crohn’s disease.

The Science Behind Hemp Shell & Gut Health

A 2024 study from the University of Nevada explored the impact of hemp-derived bioactives on gut health. Researchers found that compounds extracted from hemp positively influence gut bacteria, promoting digestive health and immune function.

Similarly, Brightseed Bio has identified Bio Gut Fiber, a powerful bioactive-rich fibre sourced from hemp, which enhances gut microbiome diversity and improves overall gut function.

The Future of Hemp Bioactives in Nutrition

The discovery of gut-supporting bioactives in hemp shell is paving the way for new functional foods, supplements, and health products. Companies like Manitoba Harvest and Brightseed are already incorporating these compounds into hemp-based gut health solutions, offering consumers a natural way to support their digestive and immune health.

Key Takeaways

✅ Hemp shell is rich in bioactives like NCTs and NFTs, which support gut health.
