Kure Hormonal Harmony Capsules combine two complementary plant-based ingredients — organic New Zealand-grown hempseed oil and concentrated organic maca root extract — in a convenient, tasteless capsule format. The formula provides a synergistic blend of omega fatty acids, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and maca macamides to help support healthy hormonal balance, physical vitality, and wellbeing in both men and women.
Organic New Zealand Hempseed Oil (1,000 mg per capsule) Hempseed oil (Cannabis sativa seed oil) is cold-pressed from organically grown New Zealand hemp seeds and contains no THC or CBD. It is one of the most nutritionally distinctive plant seed oils available, distinguished primarily by its naturally near-ideal omega-6:omega-3 fatty acid ratio of approximately 3:1 — closely aligned with the ratio associated with healthy inflammatory balance in human tissue. Conventional Western diets typically skew this ratio to 15:1 or higher in favour of omega-6 fatty acids, contributing to a pro-inflammatory metabolic environment.
Of particular relevance to hormonal and inflammatory support, hempseed oil contains a meaningful concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — a specific omega-6 fatty acid that, unlike linoleic acid, is metabolised directly to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) rather than through the arachidonic acid pathway. DGLA is a precursor to anti-inflammatory prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), which plays a regulatory role in prostaglandin-mediated processes including those influencing hormonal signalling, inflammatory modulation, and smooth muscle function.
Hempseed oil also provides vitamin E (primarily as alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol), which contributes antioxidant protection to lipid-rich tissues, and minor quantities of plant sterols and polyphenols from the seed matrix. The oil from New Zealand-grown hemp is sourced and encapsulated locally, supporting product freshness, traceability, and reduced transport distance from farm to capsule.
10:1 Organic Maca Extract — 100 mg per capsule (equivalent to 1,000 mg dried maca root) Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a cruciferous root vegetable native to the Peruvian Andes and one of the most studied adaptogenic botanicals for hormonal and vitality support. The extract used in Kure Hormonal Harmony Capsules is a 10:1 concentrated extract from both black and red maca varietals, providing the equivalent of 1,000 mg of dried maca root per capsule. Black and red maca are the varietals most supported by clinical research for hormonal and reproductive health applications, with complementary phytochemical profiles.
Maca's biologically active constituents include macamides (N-benzylpolyamine derivatives unique to maca, structurally related to endocannabinoids), glucosinolates (including glucotropaeolin and benzyl isothiocyanate), alkaloids (macaridine, macarine, and others), phytosterols, and polysaccharides. Macamides are considered particularly significant for maca's adaptogenic and energy-supporting properties, and have been the subject of growing research interest for their potential interaction with fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) — the enzyme that degrades endogenous cannabinoids — providing mechanistic overlap with the endocannabinoid system.
Clinical and pre-clinical research on maca supports its traditional use for: helping maintain healthy energy levels and reducing fatigue; supporting libido and sexual function in both men and women; supporting wellbeing during the menopause transition; and contributing to healthy reproductive hormone balance. In perimenopausal and menopausal women, maca has been associated in clinical studies with maintenance of oestradiol levels and modulation of luteinising hormone (LH) activity. In men, maca has been studied for supporting healthy testosterone function, prostate health, and physical stamina.
Synergy of Hempseed Oil and Maca The combination of hempseed oil and maca in this formula is intentional and mechanistically coherent. The GLA and omega-3 content of hempseed oil provides a favourable fatty acid substrate environment for prostaglandin-mediated signalling, while maca's macamides and adaptogenic compounds support the broader hormonal regulatory axis — including HPA axis modulation, which has upstream influence on sex hormone production and balance. Together, the two ingredients address hormonal support from complementary directions: lipid-mediated signalling on one side, and adaptogenic endocrine axis support on the other.

Each batch is tested against 69 known gut irritants (Gut Friendly Certified) and independently assessed for heavy metals using validated analytical methods. The formula contains no artificial fillers, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, binding agents, or unnecessary additives.
Why Kure Hormonal Harmony Capsules?
-
New Zealand-grown, NZ-made. Organic hempseed oil sourced and processed in New Zealand — full supply chain transparency from local farms to finished capsule, manufactured in Canterbury.
-
10:1 concentrated maca extract — both black and red varietals. Each capsule delivers the equivalent of 1 g of dried maca root in a highly concentrated, easily absorbed extract form, rather than a diluted whole-root powder.
-
Hempseed oil at a meaningful dose. At 1,000 mg per capsule (up to 5,000 mg per day at the top of the recommended range), this is a clinically relevant hempseed oil dose — not a token inclusion.
-
Optimal omega-6:omega-3 ratio. Hempseed oil's ~3:1 ratio is nutritionally superior to most seed oils for supporting healthy fatty acid balance, alongside meaningful GLA content.
-
Gut Friendly Certified. Independently verified free from 69 known gut irritants — relevant for patients with gastrointestinal sensitivity who may react to lesser-quality supplement preparations.
-
Heavy metal tested. Independent analytical verification for heavy metal absence — important for a botanical product sourced from a root and seed that accumulate environmental minerals.
-
Tasteless capsule format. Hempseed oil and maca can both have strong flavours that limit compliance in liquid or powder form; the encapsulated format eliminates this barrier entirely.
-
Not not-for-profit marketing — practitioner-appropriate positioning. Kure positions this product through pharmacy and health professional channels alongside direct-to-consumer, making it appropriate for inclusion in a practitioner dispensary context.

Practitioner Notes — Stephen Roigard
Kure Hormonal Harmony Capsules occupy a useful niche in your dispensary as a gentle, food-based hormonal support option that is well tolerated, locally made, and accessible to patients who may be reluctant to use more complex multi-herb formulations. Several clinical points are worth noting:
Appropriate patient selection: This is a foundational, food-grade hormonal support product rather than a therapeutically targeted botanical intervention. It is most appropriate as a first-line or complementary recommendation for patients with mild hormonal dysregulation — particularly those experiencing fatigue, low libido, mild mood fluctuation, or early perimenopausal changes — and is not a replacement for targeted botanical or nutritional protocols in patients with significant hormonal pathology.
Maca in perimenopausal and menopausal patients: The clinical evidence base for maca in this population, while modest in volume, is consistent in direction. The most relevant studies (Meissner et al. series; Stojanovska et al. 2015) suggest that maca supports oestradiol and LH maintenance and reduces menopausal symptom scores without exerting direct oestrogenic activity on oestrogen receptor-alpha — a meaningful safety distinction for patients with oestrogen-sensitive conditions or those who are unable to take phyto-oestrogen-containing products. At 500 mg concentrate per day (5 capsules), this formula is at the lower end of clinically studied doses, which typically range from 2–3.5 g dried root equivalent per day. Patients seeking more robust maca support may benefit from a standalone higher-dose maca product alongside this formula.
Hempseed oil and oral contraceptives — a practical clinical note: The manufacturer's caution regarding hempseed oil and oral contraceptives warrants proactive communication with patients of reproductive age taking hormonal contraception. While the interaction mechanism is not fully elucidated, GLA and omega fatty acids in hempseed oil may influence prostaglandin-mediated signalling pathways that intersect with contraceptive hormone activity. Counsel patients to raise this with their prescribing doctor or family planning nurse.
Gelatine capsule shell — patient communication: The capsule shell is gelatine-based (bovine). This is relevant for vegetarian, vegan, and halal-observant patients. Advise proactively at point of dispensing.
Combination use: This product pairs well with Kure Plus Full Spectrum hemp oil (as per Kure's recommendation) for patients seeking combined endocannabinoid system support alongside the hormonal and adaptogenic benefits of the maca and hempseed oil capsules. Within your broader dispensary, it also complements dedicated hormone-targeted products, such as Pure Encapsulations Women's Nutrients 40+, for patients seeking a more comprehensive nutritional foundation alongside the plant-based support provided here.
