Wheat germ oil
History: Bran, a residue from wheat seeds, is traditionally used for its laxative properties and its rich magnesium content. Wheat germ is used for its oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E.

Properties: These essential fatty acids act as regulators of cholesterol level, and prevent its setting down on blood arteries. Vitamin E is a strong natural antioxidant, which protects the arterial system. The joint action of these two components justifies the use of wheat germ oil in the prevention of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Its richness in essential fatty acids is also useful in limiting the appearance of fine lines on the skin.

Suggested dosage: 2 capsules morning and evening, with a glass of water.
