Wheat germ in multi-oils?

[TheDogAteMyName]

Dr. Atkins did advise the use of flaxseed, wheat germ or psyllium husks for constipation. However, my multi-oil supplement contains wheat germ oil. Is this ok? They are the GNC Multi-Oils and directions for use are 3 times a day. Any input? I'm assuming this is completely fine since he did mention that wheat germ sprinkled on a salad was ok. This is oil, not the actual wheat germ.

Re: Wheat germ in multi-oils?

Well, wheat germ itself has fiber that will help move things right along...wheat germ oil does not. There are some that find that taking flaxseed oil (1 to 2 tablespoons) helps them, er, get moving. It is possible that wheat germ oil may do the same thing, but I'm not certain. I can look into it. Suffice it to say, whatever amount of wheat germ oil is in a multi-oil supplement, it most likely will not be enough to ease constipation suffering.
