The Science

Hemp is an incredibly versatile plant – fibre from the stalks is used to make clothes and rope, the seeds are used for food, and for thousands of years people have used the plant for its health benefits. Hemp went out of favour in the last century and only in the past few years have we rediscovered the amazing pharmacopoeia of beneficial compounds the plant naturally offers us. At ElleVance, we are expanding that knowledge to provide new ways to help families live long active lives.

There are so many different products now on the market, it can be bewildering trying to find the one that’s right for you. It is important to note there are big differences between products. Most importantly, there is a distinction between broad spectrum hemp extracts that contain as many of the beneficial compounds as possible (such as ElleVance) and Hemp isolate products that have been chemically purified in the laboratory. Products also vary in their potency and their manufacturing quality control.
