Item Uso de compuestos de cáñamo (Cannabis sativa L.) en suplementos dietarios: Revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Rosero Ramos, Anyell Melissa; Ciro Monsalve, Yhors AlexanderThe plant of Cannabis Sativa L. also known as hemp, is an ancestral plant that contains different compounds such as macromolecules beneficial for health as cannabidiol, various fatty acids and omegas beneficial for human health, so its use has been observed as a dietary supplement for its benefits and high nutritional value, in people with deficiencies in their diet. In this monograph, the scientific literature on the use of hemp compounds in dietary supplements was reviewed as a promising alternative to which anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects are attributed. In addition, it was shown that the most used part of the cannabis plant for this purpose are its seeds, with a high nutritional value because they contain 25-30% protein and oils, 30-40% fiber. In addition, extracts obtained by means of techniques such as supercritical fluid extraction, Soxhlet and dynamic maceration have been incorporated into protein bars, breads, yogurts, among others. However, the current Colombian legislation still represents an obstacle to be able to market this type of products, there are still some stigmas around cannabis and there is also a large number of scientific studies that support its use and verify its benefits. In conclusion, hemp compounds, particularly its proteins and oils, have great potential as functional ingredients in nutritional supplements. However, its implementation faces technical obstacles related to the stability and functionality of compounds as well as regulatory issues.
