Wheat germ, crude

Yes. Wheat germ, crude provides 23.15g of protein per 100g — that's 46% of the daily value. As a plant protein, combine with complementary sources (grains, nuts) for complete amino acid profile.

Wheat germ, crude contains 13.2g of fiber per 100g (47% DV). Fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria, which produce short-chain fatty acids (butyrate) that reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut barrier, and improve insulin sensitivity. The high fiber content also slows glucose absorption, reducing insulin spikes.

Yes — Wheat germ, crude is rich in selenium (144% DV), which Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production. zinc supports Testosterone and DHT production. vitamin b6 supports Progesterone and Dopamine production.

Yes. Wheat germ, crude provides 892mg of potassium per 100g (19% DV). Potassium helps lower blood pressure by counteracting sodium's effects and relaxing blood vessel walls. The sodium-to-potassium ratio is 74.3.

Phytates (especially in whole grains — bind zinc, iron, calcium). Lectins (wheat germ agglutinin — reduced by cooking). Sourdough fermentation reduces phytates 70-90%. Soaking + cooking helps. Yeast fermentation (bread) partially breaks down phytates. Whole grains have more nutrients but also more phytates — the net effect is still positive.

Wheat germ, crude has a satiety score of 6.5/10. The 23.15g protein stimulates PYY (satiety hormone). The 13.2g fiber adds bulk and slows digestion. This makes it effective for appetite control between meals.
