Instruction manual
1
Before consuming wheat germ oil, consult your doctor. Despite all its usefulness, oil has a number of contraindications. It is not recommended for people suffering from urolithiasis or cholelithiasis, so as not to provoke their exacerbation.

To maintain health and strengthen immunity, take wheat oil for a month. The daily dose is 2 teaspoons per day, which are consumed half an hour before meals. If you absolutely do not like the taste of oil, you can add it to ready-made dishes: dress them with salads, cereals and others and side dishes, but do not heat them. It is impossible to fry in such an oil, since when it is heated it loses all the beneficial properties.

The course of treatment lasts 1-2 months and is combined with compliance with the appropriate diet for these diseases.
