Wheat is one of the recognized dietary sources of selenium, and how much it carries depends on the selenium in the soil it grew in. Selenium concentrates in the protein fraction of the grain rather than in the oil, so we have asked FIQ for an assay on the finished oil rather than assuming a number. Buy this for the vitamin E; treat any selenium as a bonus until the assay lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#242424;\"\u003eIsn't wheat germ oil a seed oil?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#3a3a3a;\"\u003eFair question. It is pressed from the germ of the wheat berry and runs about 58% linoleic acid, so yes, it is a polyunsaturated oil. Our no-seed-oils line is about refusing them as cooking fats, carriers, and fillers. This is 500 mg taken by the softgel for its tocopherol content, extracted without heat rather than refined. If you track polyunsaturated fat closely, weigh it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#242424;\"\u003eIs it gluten-free?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#3a3a3a;\"\u003eWheat germ oil is the lipid fraction and the gluten proteins sit in the protein fraction, so the oil is a poor carrier for them. FIQ still advises anyone with celiac disease to consult their provider because of cross-contamination risk, and that is the line we take too. Ask us for the testing documentation before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-size:15px;font-weight:700;color:#242424;\"\u003eWhy refrigerate it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#3a3a3a;\"\u003eBecause the oil is roughly 80% unsaturated fatty acids and about 58% linoleic acid.
