Frequently asked questions

Why choose the liquid over softgels?
The liquid is unrefined and lets you take a full tablespoon — delivering 130% of the daily value of vitamin E plus over 1,000 mcg of octacosanol per serving — or drizzle it over food. It's the most natural, whole-food form of wheat germ oil.*

Is it processed or refined?
No — NOW® Wheat Germ Oil is not bleached, deodorized or hydrogenated, so it retains its natural nutrient profile, color and character. It's Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher and Halal.*

How do I use it?
Take it by the tablespoon or drizzle it over food (don't cook with it). Keep the bottle cool and sealed, since unrefined oils are perishable, and use it within a reasonable time after opening.*
