Accepted Answer

52 calories per 2TBL: Wheat germ doesn’t have an exact daily recommendation. You may need to start out with a small amount, such as 1 tablespoon a day.

Question 9

do you recommend wheat germ oil for acne and scars?

Accepted Answer

Get a real Rx: I suspect that these internet remedies are cruel pranks. It&#x27;s not going to touch either active disease or scars. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared your active disease in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength rx. Only a specialist with a laser, filler, or microsurgery can make the scars less visible.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Probably: Gluten alleragy is called coeliac disease.  Which means you haave a sensitivity to wheat.  It would only make sense that if you use a makeup with wheat germ oil, it will absorb into your system and allow a physical reaction, which will usually exhibit itself as stomach and digestive tract imflamation and such problems.
