What wheat germ oil is—and where it fits
Understand the source, product categories, component profile, applications, and supply questions that shape a commercial WGO decision.
Start with the ingredient, then narrow the application
Wheat germ oil is derived from the germ portion of the wheat kernel. Viobin produces cold-processed WGO in Monticello, Illinois, within a focused wheat germ operation backed by BRC-certified manufacturing and documented chain of custody.

Three WGO categories
Viobin offers crude, distilled, and refined WGO. The right category depends on the formula and its current product specification.
A defined component profile
Vitamin E, phytosterols, Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids, and squalene are named components of Viobin WGO.
Choose the product—not just the ingredient name
Viobin offers crude, distilled, and refined WGO as separate commercial categories. Compare the current specification for the exact product against the formula, sensory target, quality requirements, and market positioning before selecting material for a trial.
- Crude WGO
- Distilled WGO
- Refined WGO
- A softgel-ready WGO option for supplement development
Use product-specific data for the component profile
WGO contains naturally occurring components that can matter to formulation and product positioning. Use current composition information for the selected product rather than applying a family-level description to every category or lot.
- Vitamin E
- Phytosterols
- Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids
- Squalene
Route the evaluation by finished-product format
WGO is used across supplement, personal-care, food, beverage, and specialty development. Naming the finished-product format helps Viobin direct the request to the relevant product information, sample, documentation, and commercial format.
- Supplements, nutraceuticals, and softgels
- Skin, scalp, hair, moisturizer, and serum formulations
- Oils, dressings, and functional beverages
- Companion animal, equine, livestock, swine, and aquafeed formulations
