This oil is suitable for food and cosmetic purpose. Wheat germ oil is an unrefined oil that is obtained from the germ of the wheat kernel. It is the richest source of Vitamin E than any other vegetable oil. It also has a high content of Vitamin A and Vitamin D. It is rich in protein and lecithin. It is very popular for external application due to its beneficial effects on the skin and hence is increasingly finding place in the manufacture of skin care products. Other benefits of wheat germ oil include its antioxidant properties and its effect in strengthening the immune system and restoring overall health. Wheat germ oil must be stored carefully, at low temperatures and out of direct sunlight, or it will degrade rapidly and become no use to anybody. Wheat germ oil is an excellent source of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, which makes it useful as a nutritional supplement as well as an essential and cosmetic oil. Wheat germ oil is famed for its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are chemicals which help to counter the harmful effects of oxidants, also called free radicals, which are created as a by-product of the body;s energy release mechanism. Free radicals cause damage by attaching themselves to healthy cells and attacking them. In the case of cholesterol in the bloodstream for example, this can cause the build-up of plaque in the arteries, leading to heart disease and other serious cardiovascular implications. Free radicals killing healthy cells can also cause the growth of some cancerous tumors. Therefore any substance which contains antioxidants is beneficial to the human body, as they help support the immune system and protect cardiovascular health, and may prevent the development of some forms of cancer. Wheat germ oil then is proven to improve blood circulation and help repair damaged tissues. This is especially the case in the event of skin being damaged by excessive exposure to the harmful UV radiation from the sun - more evidence of those free radicals at work. Wheat germ oil can also be used to help ward off dermatitis, keeping symptoms at bay and preventing relapses of troublesome skin conditions. Wheat germ oil has lately become popular as a sports supplement, after research found that a substance present in wheat germ oil, octacosanol, can improve performance levels during exercise, particularly stamina and endurance. Preliminary findings are that octacosanol may also have a beneficial effect on the lowering of harmful LDL cholesterol levels in the blood, but it is too early to draw firm conclusions about this particular claim. What we do know is that octacosanol is taken up by muscle tissue, where it can readily be used as a source of fuel during exercising, providing ‘burst’ energy and helping to save the body’s glycogen stores to assist in the recovery process afterwards. Supplementing with wheat germ oil then can help athletes to train harder for longer, and thus see greater beneficial effects.Botanical Name: Carthamus tinctoriusSynonyms: Carthamus glaber, Carthamus inermisINCI Name: Carthamus tinctorius seed oil CAS #: 8001-23-8 Country of Origin: USAConstituents: Vegetable triglycerides Palmitic acid: 3 - 8 % Linoleic Acid: 12 – 18 % Stearic Acid: 1 - 4 % Oleic acid: 70 – 80 %Recommended Usage: • Lotions & Creams: 5 - 20 % • Balms: 5 – 100 % • Bar Soaps: 5 - 20 % • Hair Conditioners: 2 – 5 %Shipping Policy All shipping is free, and each shipment comes with free tracking number All items are shipped on the same business day or the next business day.
