Frequently asked questions

What's special about wheat germ oil?
Wheat germ oil is one of nature's richest sources of vitamin E, and it also naturally contains octacosanol (a plant wax popular with athletes) plus essential fatty acids, phytosterols and other nutrients — a genuine whole-food nutrient profile rather than a single isolated vitamin.*

What is octacosanol?
Octacosanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol (a dietary wax) naturally found in wheat germ oil, long valued by athletes and traditionally associated with endurance and stamina support.* It's one of the reasons wheat germ oil has such a long history of use.*

How do I take it?
Take two softgels daily with food. Because it contains vitamin E and can mildly affect blood clotting, talk to your doctor first if you take blood thinners.*

Cautions & interactions

It is made from wheat germ; those avoiding wheat for allergy reasons should note this. Consult your physician if pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition, and keep out of reach of children.
