Research has shown that vitamin E helps protect our body cells from damage as it acts as an antioxidant ? an agent protecting our cells from the oxidative (chemical) stresses found all about us in our modern world. Wheat Germ Oil comes from the seed or kernel of the wheat plant ? the reproductive part of the plant rich in octascosanol, vitamin E and fatty acids. Wheat Germ Oil in fact contains the highest level of vitamin E of any natural food. Wheat Germ Oil is delicate and can degrade if not stored in cool conditions.
