Octacosanol is a naturally derived wheat germ oil concentrate. (Although if would be possible to extract octacosanol from whole wheat, 10 pounds of wheat whould be needed to obtain just 1,000 mcg of octacosanol.) Wheat germ has long been known for its many benefits. Today, extracts of wheat germ weighing only 2 mg offer remarkable benefits as well.

Octacosanol has been clinically proven to increase oxygen utilization during exercise and improve glycogen storage in muscles. As a result, it increases physical endurance, improves reaction time, reduces high-altitude stress, and aids in tissue oxygenation. This substance can greatly benefit those who experience muscle pain after exercise or who have a lowered endurance level, and is good for muscular dystrophies and other neuromuscular disorders as well. It also reduces blood cholesterol levels.
