Product Description

Wheat Germ Oil Main Introductions:
Wheat germ oil is derived from the germ of the wheat berry, which is the nutrient-dense core that feeds the plant as it grows. This also means that the majority of usable chemicals and compounds are found in this germ. Since oil makes up roughly 10-14% of the wheat germ, which is an agricultural byproduct, so extract processes like pressing and solvent extraction are used. The more refined wheat germ oil is, the fewer usable nutrients it contains for human health. Some of the uses of wheat germ oil are in culinary applications, but generally, this specialty oil is used for medicinal and therapeutic purposes. The many benefits of this oil come from the rich supply of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids it contains, as well as vitamins A, E, B and D and other volatile compounds and antioxidants.

Wheat Germ Oil Benefits

1. Hair Care

As mentioned, this oil is a rich source of omega-6 fatty acid, also known as linoleic acid, which is known to be nourishing for the hair. When massaged into the scalp (in a diluted form) or mixed into shampoos and conditioners (10:1 ratio is a proper dilution), this oil can help the appearance and strength of your hair, and even prevent premature hair loss and dandruff.
 

1. Eliminates Skin Inflammation

Applying wheat germ oil to inflamed or irritated skin has been a popular practice for generations. Due to the high levels of tocopherols (such as vitamin E) in this oil, it is able to nourish the skin and stimulate blood flow to speed healing, which can also eliminate inflammation and swelling in the affected areas. This makes the oil an effective remedy for psoriasis, eczema and various other common skin conditions.
 

1. Improves Heart Health

The omega-3 found in wheat germ oil is known to lower cholesterol levelsand help promote good circulation. This can not only cause a decrease in blood pressure, but also lower your risk for cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes. Increased circulation also ensures proper growth and healing in various parts of the body. However, it is important to remember that this oil also includes a high level of omega-6 fatty acids, and can contribute to higher cholesterol when consumed in large quantities.
 

1. Prevents Aging

The antioxidant effects of wheat germ oil are well known, not only for the skin, but also for the rest of the body. Applying wheat germ oil to the skin can help reduce oxidative stress, minimize the appearance of wrinkles and scars, and increase collagen formation between new cells. Internally, this oil can also seek out and neutralize free radicals, effectively lowering your risk of developing chronic disease.
 

1. Prevents Obesity

Using this oil also comes with a metabolic boost, which promotes more passive fat-burning, which is important for people trying to lose weight. Omega-3 fatty acids are also a rich source of energy for the body that isn't deposited as fat, so it can help cut down your belly and increase your calorie-burning efficiency, when used in moderation.
