The wheat germ is the part of each wheat kernel that helps in reproducing the plant, so naturally, it contains the many nutrients needed to grow and develop into a healthy, new plant. Wheat germ is a concentrated source of several essential nutrients including Vitamin E, Folic acid, Phosphorus, Zinc, magnesium and Essentials fatty acids.

It is also a good source of fiber. Wheat germ can be added to your protein shakes, baked products (bread cookies etc.), muffins, pancakes cereals and smoothies. Wheat germ can become rancid if not properly stored in a refrigerator or freezer, and away from sunlight.

Age - Defying Properties: Wheat germ is packed with nutrients and vitamins in such high levels that it can have significant effects on various anti-aging effects like skin quality and hair loss.*

Muscle Health: One of the best sources of protein in a diet can come from wheat germ, and protein has a list of beneficial attributes. Protein is integral in maintaining healthy muscles, repairing damaged tissues, regulating energy levels within the body, and aiding in homeostasis and overall system balance.
