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. The manufacturing process is to include steps such as cooking, fat drying or deodourising which ensures the temperature of the oil reaches at least 60 degrees C for a minimum of 5 minutes or at least 100 degrees for a minimum of 1 minute. 2. The sponsor is to hold a veterinary certificate indicating that the emus from which the raw material was extracted were healthy and fit for human consumption.
Typical Manufacturing Specification.
- The oil has been solely derived from Emu fat and has not been blended with any other oil.
- No added preservatives or anti oxidants.
- All Emus are free range and fed on a domestic feeding regime.
All of the following Specifications are typical working standards for typical commercial Emu oil.
