NOW Foods Wheat Germ Oil Liquid provides cold-pressed oil from the embryo of the wheat kernel — nature's richest natural source of vitamin E, with tocopherol levels far exceeding most other vegetable oils. This unrefined oil is particularly prized as a skin and hair treatment for its exceptional emollient, regenerative, and antioxidant properties — supporting skin cell renewal, reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks, and deeply nourishing dry hair and scalp. Wheat germ oil is also a source of octacosanol, a natural fatty alcohol studied for athletic endurance and energy metabolism. Due to its high tocopherol content, wheat germ oil provides antioxidant protection to other oils when used as a small addition to carrier oil blends. NOW Foods cold-presses without solvents and provides this oil in a 16 fl oz bottle for excellent value in skin, hair, and culinary uses.
