Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Wheat germ has a long history of use as a nutritious food supplement, valued for its high content of vitamins (notably vitamin E), minerals, healthy fats, and proteins. Traditional herbal and natural medicine systems have sometimes promoted wheat germ as a general vitality booster and as a fertility aid, especially for men, due to its dense nutritional profile. Vitamin E, in particular, has been historically associated with reproductive health and fertility, and wheat germ is one of the richest natural sources of this vitamin. However, direct scientific validation specifically linking wheat germ or its isolated nutrients to significant improvements in male reproductive function (such as sperm count, motility, or testosterone production) is limited. Most scientific studies focus on vitamin E supplementation, often in animal models, with mixed or modest results regarding male fertility. Human clinical trials using wheat germ itself for male reproductive support are lacking. In summary, while wheat germ is nutritionally rich and has a tradition of use for general and reproductive health, robust modern scientific evidence for its specific efficacy in supporting the male reproductive system is limited. Its use is best viewed as traditional with some plausible nutritional rationale rather than being strongly scientifically validated.
