The Benefits of Wheat Germ Oil

Wheat germ oil not only contains a number of powerful antioxidants such as Vitamins A and E, but also anti-inflammatory fatty acids that are effective in helping you maintain a smooth young-looking skin. It consists of around 55% Omega-6 linoleic acid that supports your immune system and is a useful supplement to take if you want to lose weight, because many tests have indicated that it can increase your metabolic rate and therefore burn off more fat.

In boosting the immune system, the CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) in wheat germ oil can also ease the inflammation that can occur through the inflammatory cascade of the immune system. Vitamins A and E can go a long way to easing inflammation, and also in destroying the free radicals that promote the serious condition known as atherosclerosis. This is brought about by free radical oxidation of low density lipids that cause them to release the cholesterol they are carrying round your blood.

Wheat germ oil offers a number of other specific health benefits that are generally due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and also its ability to increase the rate at which you burn sugars that is of benefit to your blood sugar/insulin balance.
