Wheat germ oil

Description
Food supplement based on wheat germ oil that promotes lipid metabolism and has antioxidant properties. Vitamin E helps protect cells against oxidative stress. Wheat germ oil is obtained by simple cold pressing after seed germination, without the use of solvents, and is a concentrate of the lipid fraction of the germ. Natural vitamin E also helps preserve all the organoleptic properties of the product. It does not contain preservatives, does not contain GMOs and is not irradiated.

Property
Wheat germ oil is rich in omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-3 (linolenic acid) fatty acids. It also contains triterpene alcohols, sterols and, compared to common seed oils, has the highest tocopherol content, especially vitamin E. It is extremely rich in octacosanol, a long-chain saturated aliphatic fatty acid, which may be useful in sports due to its ergogenic properties. In addition, it reduces triglycerides, increases free fatty acid concentrations and, by stimulating peripheral lipoprotein lipase, increases lipid entry into skeletal muscle.
Wheat germ oil helps improve the lipid profile (cholesterol and triglycerides), maintain physiological blood pressure, and optimize the defense system against free radicals.
Vitamin E penetrates the stratum corneum and epidermis into the dermis, where it improves capillary circulation, increasing the utilization of oxygen and nutrients by the tissues. Due to its soothing effect, it also improves various skin conditions, such as itchy skin, minor sunburns and abrasions. It also has nourishing and protective properties, useful for dry and sensitive skin prone to rosacea and for treating skin aging.
