These capsules give you a pure and natural, real food source of vitamin E.
We extract our premium oil from the germ (the embryo of the seed). And we source it from fresh, high-quality, non-GMO North American wheat. Our gentle, low-heat method preserves maximum nutrients and is made in small batches.
Because our Wheat Germ Oil is a whole food vitamin, it contains its inherent cofactors, including a full spectrum of tocopherols. So it maintains its original alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherols.
This means Smidge® Wheat Germ Oil is extremely bioavailable, easily absorbed and provides more nutrients than an isolated vitamin E tocopherol supplement, as most are synthetic, highly processed or derived from soy.
Just a single, potent serving Smidge® Wheat Germ Oil provides your body with 1.5 mg of vitamin E, which is 10% of your daily value! Plus, you get additional beneficial nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and phytosterols. It also has naturally occurring octacosanol, a nutrient that may help balance healthy blood pressure and boost exercise performance.
We also source the oil from the embryo of the wheat plant, and not the grain. That’s why you can even take it on gluten-free diets! Like all of our Smidge® products, our Wheat Germ Oil capsules are free of common allergens, so they’re kind to sensitive systems.
Smidge® Wheat Germ Oil also does not contain milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, yeast, corn or soy. It should be avoided, however, if you have grain or wheat allergies, or celiac disease. Please note that this supplement does contain wheat.
Please consult with your qualified healthcare practitioner before adding any supplement to you or your family's regimen.
