Wheat Germ

Wheat germ is the nutrient-rich part of a grain of wheat that is lost during milling when grains are refined. 

Wheat germ is a very good source of the antioxidants vitamin E and selenium, B vitamins such as folate, and zinc — which in combination help reduce the risk of arthritis, cataracts and macular degeneration, memory loss, and skin and hair damage. 

Other nutrients in wheat germ, including magnesium and manganese, may help prevent and manage high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, migraine headaches, and PMS symptoms. 

Wheat germ is not gluten-free and is therefore unsafe for individuals with celiac disease.
