Benefits of Wheat Germ
Wheat germ is the nutrient-rich core of the wheat grain, making up only about 2% of the kernel. It is packed with valuable natural nutrients such as vitamin E (especially the highly bioactive E-α form) and linoleic acid. Linoleic acid, together with proteins, is an important component of cell cytoplasm and is involved in various physiological functions, including hormone production.
