In recent years, hemp-derived ingredients have gone from niche to necessity, making their way into wellness routines, skincare shelves, low-dosed edibles, innovative beverages and more. Why the seemingly sudden boost in popularity? Because of the experience.
At the heart of this growing industry is Northern Diversified Solutions (NDS), a company rooted in integrity, driven by science and committed to quality. In an often misunderstood and rapidly evolving market, NDS stands out by doing more than just producing hemp-derived ingredients—we lead by example.
What Are Hemp-Derived Ingredients?
Hemp-derived ingredients are compounds extracted from the industrial hemp plant, a cannabis plant that contains less than 0.3% THC. When produced responsibly, these compounds may help people feel better and engage more fully with their own wellness.
A History Rooted in Healing
Hemp has ancient origins. The use of hemp for diverse purposes was recorded as early as 8000 BCE. Archaeological evidence shows that hemp was used in ancient China around 8000 BCE, specifically for making fabric, rope and paper. In 2000 BCE, Indians used hemp in medicine as a cure for physical, emotional and spiritual pain. From the Middle East to Europe to the Americas, people have and continue to utilize hemp as a tool to support health, wellness, lifestyle and more.
Why Hemp Matters Today
Hemp supports happier, healthier lives by offering a range of natural benefits that nurture both the body and mind. Hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol), a non-psychoactive compound, has gained recognition for its potential to relieve anxiety, improve sleep, reduce chronic pain and ease symptoms of conditions like epilepsy and arthritis, and without the psychoactive effects of THC. Beyond physical wellness, hemp may also promote emotional well-being by helping individuals manage stress and maintain balance in their daily lives. As a sustainable, plant-based remedy, hemp aligns with holistic approaches to health, offering people a natural way to care for themselves and their environment.
In an age where consumers are demanding transparency and plant-based alternatives, hemp offers a compelling answer. However, the value of hemp-derived products goes far beyond the ingredient label. It’s about how they’re made, where they come from, and who stands behind them.
That’s where Northern Diversified Solutions comes in.
