Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedWheat germ is recommended during pregnancy as a concentrated source of vital plant-based micronutrients. It supplies dense amounts of zinc for cellular division, dietary folate for fetal development, and natural vitamin E. Stir two tablespoons into morning oatmeal, pasteurized yogurt, or homemade baked goods. Store opened containers in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent the delicate germ oils from turning rancid.
