Who should be careful when choosing this product? — Wheat Germ Oil Capsules N60 - Realcaps

The oil is obtained from wheat germ, and wheat is a cereal that contains gluten, so the product is not suitable for people with coeliac disease or a wheat allergy. And it is not only about coeliac disease: individual intolerance to wheat proteins or other grain components may also be a reason to consult a doctor beforehand.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to discuss with a specialist whether it is appropriate before starting any food supplement, including this one — not because the product is known to be unsafe, but because nutrient needs during these periods are individual and are best assessed by a doctor.

If you already take several supplements or medicines, it is worth making sure that your total vitamin E intake from all sources stays within reasonable limits. This is particularly relevant if you take anticoagulants: high doses of vitamin E may theoretically affect blood clotting — this is best checked with your doctor.

Otherwise, this is a food supplement for those who want to add plant fats and antioxidants to their diet in a convenient form.
