Emu Oil Composition - Omega 3, 6, 7, 9 and 21 Other Fatty Acids
Approximately 70% of the fatty acids in emu fat are unsaturated - Omega 3, 6, 7, and 9. This composition is consistent with current recommendations for a "heart-healthy" diet. Studies and testimonials have also shown these Omega Fatty Acids to lower bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels while increasing good cholesterol, reduce inflammation in body tissue and joints, improve the immune system and assist the body with many functions.
The monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid (Omega 9), is a known enhancer for transporting bio-active compounds into the skin, and thus the ability to be absorbed quickly and penetrate deeply. The overall composition of emu oil is very similar to our skin's fatty acid composition.
