Avian Wheat Germ Oil is the highest quality first cold pressed oil, it is rich in vitamin E, which supports blood circulation and the development of good skin and plumage. Since vitamin E stimulates fertility and muscle development, it is worth using it during the breeding season. There are many benefits of using wheat germ oil. It is very useful for our birds. Anti-aging, supports health by improving blood circulation and strengthening the immune and nervous systems. Wheat germ oil is an unrefined oil obtained from the germ of the wheat grain. It is the richest source of vitamin E than any other vegetable oil. It also contains a large amount of vitamin A and vitamin D. It is rich in protein and lecithin. Other benefits of wheat germ oil include its antioxidant properties and its ability to boost the immune system and restore overall health. What is wheat germ oil? Wheat germ oil, obtained from the kernel of the wheat grain, is a light yellow, fat-soluble natural oil. As it is an unrefined oil, it has a thick consistency and a strong aroma. Even though the wheat germ is only 3% of the weight of the wheat grain, its benefits are that it contains almost 25% of all the proteins, vitamins and minerals of the wheat grain. It is a very sensitive oil that tends to degrade if not stored with care. It should be stored away from high temperatures, as under their influence it can go rancid. However, when properly stored, the shelf life of wheat germ oil can be extended up to several months. Benefits of wheat germ oil. The health benefits of consuming wheat germ oil include improving overall heart function. Studies have shown the beneficial effect of octacosanol, and in particular policosanol, on improving the function of the cardiovascular system. Octacanol significantly strengthens the muscular and nervous systems, increases the optimal storage of glycogen in the muscles, supports muscle coordination, improves muscle growth and increases tolerance to physical effort, wheat germ oil reduces muscle fatigue and improves endurance, relieves muscle cramps, which is very important in carrier pigeons. Policosanol has been shown to be effective in controlling cholesterol production by the liver. It is believed to raise "good" cholesterol and lower "bad" cholesterol. Wheat germ oil is known for its antioxidant properties. Linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid are essential fatty acids present in wheat germ oil. The body is unable to produce these essential oils. Therefore, they should be taken externally, as they improve the functioning of the immune system, the nervous system and support healthy growth and cell regeneration. Avian Premium Wheat Germ Oil is particularly rich in a long-chain saturated primary alcohol called octacosanol. It is believed that this compound increases endurance and muscle strength in people practicing sports. Wheat germ oil can be used as an addition to the diet of our birds. The body of birds consists of millions of cells. Very complex metabolic processes are constantly taking place in each individual cell, which play an important role in maintaining good health and immunity of the birds' organism. Antioxidant vitamin E plays a role in preventing the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and the decomposition of harmful substances (free radicals, e.g. as a result of environmental pollution), which damage cellular structures. Premium wheat germ oil as a fertility stimulator. The high content of vitamin E in wheat germ oil earned it an early reputation as the "fertility vitamin". When tested on lab animals, it gave every indication that it lived up to its reputation. When male animals were deprived of vitamin E, their testicles shrank. In pregnant females deficient in vitamin E, the fetuses were reabsorbed back into the uterus, preventing the animals from giving birth. Giving animals just one drop of vitamin E-rich wheat germ oil restored their fertility. In fact, vitamin E got its scientific name - tocopherol - from this ability. It means "to bring forth offspring". In numerous studies using wheat germ oil, it has been found that our birds have improved reproductive capacity. Avian Wheat Germ Oil Premium - improves endurance, accelerates regeneration after physical exercise, cares for the heart muscle, with (continuous) muscle fatigue, supports muscle reaction and coordination, protects healthy cells and nerve tissues.
