Properties

Latin- Triticum vulgare, internal: Wheat Germ Oil is an original time-tested endurance supplement that has a variety of benefits Wheat germ oil is very high in vitamin E and therefore often used as a source of vitamin E, which is known as one of the most powerful antioxidants, and therefore stress reducing, and anti-aging in nature. A component of the oil, “Octacosanol” has been the focus of many clinical studies. These preliminary studies found that octacosanol had promising effects on endurance, reaction time, and other measures of exercise capacity (1). It appears to improve oxygen utilization, and thereby performance, particularly at higher altitudes or when under stress. It’s also quite helpful in boosting the body's levels of glycogen, and consequently this helps to improve the physical performance of athletes, in addition to easing the pain associated with exercise. Each tablespoon of the Wheat Germ Oil has over 1000 mcg of Octacosanol. Wheat Germ oil is also known to aid in maintaining normal healthy blood cholesterol levels. 1. Cureton TK.

External: Wheat germ oil is thick, heavy, sticky, and very high in vitamin E. It is often used as a source of vitamin E 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, and it can be added to other skin care oils as a preservative. Because of its heavy nature, and high vitamin E content, it is often used for severe dry, chapped, and cracked skin, as well as a soothing relief to conditions such as Psoriasis or Eczema, as well as being indicated for mature skin. In addition it’s also known to be beneficial for tired muscles, making good base oil for massaging tired or active (sports) muscles.
