Therapeutic Indications
Wheat germ oil is the original "super food" health oil. Extracted from whole grains of wheat, it is nature's richest source of naturally occurring Vitamin E and mixed tocopherols. Wheat germ oil provides the most balanced source of natural antioxidants available. It is also composed of approximately 63% Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) — 5% omega 3 and 58% omega 6.

Wheat germ oil is very high in vitamin E, Folic acid, Pantothenic acid and is often used as a source of vitamin E for internal use or for external application to burns, sores, and other skin problems. The antioxidant properties of vitamin E make wheat germ oil more stable to oxidation or rancidity than many other oils.

Wheat germ is a good source of protein, B vitamins, vitamin E, and many minerals, particularly iron, calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, zinc, phosphorus, and potassium. Nutritionally, it is more balanced overall than its oil, we do, however, need some oils for tissue health and to obtain natural vitamin E, so wheat germ oil supplements can be a good addition to a low-fat or low-vitamin-E diet.

Wheat germ oil is high in octacosanols and is the only natural source. Octacosanols are believed to help athletes increase endurance and lower oxygen depletion. Research has also shown octacosanols may be helpful in cholesterol management and neurological disorders.

Storage
Wheat Germ oil should be stored in a cool, dry area until it is used. Once opened, refrigeration and tightly closing the cap will prolong its shelf life.
