Pharmaceutical Grade Emu Oil Export and Domestic.

This grade of Emu Oil has the highest biological activity towards inflammation and arthritis. This is achieved by a genetically selected emu subspecies which is bred specifically for this unique result, no other emu subspecies produces such high biological activity. This is scientifically verified.

Our rendering plant has been scientifically synchronised not to extract any biological activity.

The listing of this complementary medicine is subject to statutory conditions of listing and additional conditions of listing imposed by the Secretary under the provisions of subsection 28(3) of the therapeutic Goods Act 1989 by notice in writing.

Sponsors of the products that contain Emu Oil must ensure that the Emu Oil ingredient meets the following two requirements: 1.
