Wheat Germ Extract

What is Wheat Germ Extract?

Wheat germ extract is a nutritious dietary supplement derived from the germ of the wheat kernel. The germ is the nutrient-dense embryo of the wheat seed that feeds the plant as it grows. Raw grain remove is plentiful in a wide cluster of nutrients, minerals, phytonutrients, and plant intensifies that offer numerous potential medical advantages.

It is a concentrated preparation made from the nutrient-rich germ portion of the wheat kernel. The germ makes up only about 2-3% of the wheat seed but contains the majority of its nutrients.

To produce spermidine powder, the germ is separated from the starchy endosperm during the milling process. The germ is then dried, ground into powder, and extracted to concentrate its beneficial compounds.

The resulting extract is a brownish-yellow powder high in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive plant compounds:
