Emu Oil by Nxgen Biosciences 120ml

Returning Wednesday 23rd of October finally. Nxgen have fixed the leaking bottle issue that created issues for so many in transit. Different bottles and seals are now being used. Hurray. 

“Australian Aboriginal descendants call it the “sacred oil” and recognise it as the most powerful anti-inflammatory with exceptional skin penetrating properties, penetrating all seven layers of the skin with ease.” Dr Suzanne Mashtoub.

Due to its small particle size, emu oil is transdermal meaning it can afford its many benefits via the skin as well as orally.  This is incredibly helpful where children dosing is concerned or the elderly, it affords ease of application to receive the anti-inflammatory, bacteriostatic, moisturizing and reparation properties to the whole body as well as locally for acute needs.

Emu Oil is incredibly high in omega 3, 6, 9 fatty acids (up to 70%), vitamins A, D, E, F & K2 MK-4, and anti-oxidants. This nutrient-dense biological profile makes emu oil very effective in the treatment of many conditions when applied topically or taken orally.

It can be used to assist arthritis, joint pain, swelling, stiffness, muscle pain, eczema, dermatitis, cracked and dry nipples in early postpartum, dry skin, wound healing, scars, fine lines, wrinkles, burns, sunburns, insect bites, dry scalp and has even been shown to promote healthy hair follicles.

NXGEN Emu Oil has no added ingredients and is aimed to provide relief from mild pain, improve skin disorders, aid wound healing, as well as help with many other health issues.

NXGEN Emu Oil consists of not only Omega 3, 6, and 9, but also Vitamins A, D3, E and K2 (as MK-4).

MK-4 K2 is one of the stars of the show given how rare and hard to access this Activator X fat soluble vitamin is. Vitamin K2 MK-4 is responsible for hundreds of life-sustaining and life-giving processes at the genetic and metabolic level, Vitamin K2 is really significant because:

• Activates the vitamin K dependent proteins involved in myelin production and immune system modulation
• It’s neuroprotective
• Researched to be proven to repair and restore the gut
• Is essential for avoiding preterm placental calcification and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.
• May play a role in preventing Hypermesis Gravidarum induced Vitamin K deficiency.
• Is essential for healthy craniofacial development in utero and into adulthood.
  
• When the vitamin K dependent proteins are activated, it’s beneficial primarily for the nervous system
• Researched to reduce mitochondrial dysfunction
• Increases the mitochondria ATP production
• Increases glutathione production
• Reduces oxidative stress
• Is critical for the direction of calcium out of arteries and into the bones and teeth to keep them strong and resilient. The beauty of Emu Oil is that it can be swished in the mouth for enamel remineralisation support before swallowing to reap the additional nutritional benefits.

Research on the vitamin K2 family has exploded in the last decade. Scientists now know that MK-4 is the most important of the MK’s and is responsible for many life-sustaining processes. It is the bioactive form of the vitamin at work on the genetic and metabolic level and the most readily absorbed by our body requiring zero conversion.

“Not only does MK-4 act as a co-factor in the cellular production of energy in the electron transport chain in the mitochondria, but also as a co-factor in activating vitamin K-dependent proteins for blood clotting, bone development (directing calcium into the bone), keeping arteries calcium-free, hardening tooth enamel, reproduction, maintaining the integrity of skin, and even survival itself.”

Nxgen Emu Oil is independently tested for K2 levels. Test results show K2 is present as 4.2mcg per gram of emu oil.  The 425mcg is per jar. 4200ng/g equals 4.2mcg/g so in one jar we expect 425mcg of K2 as MK4.

Common recommendations for K2 (including MK-4 and other forms) are 100 to 200 micrograms per day and sometimes more (Kresser 2017 & 2019; Masterjohn 2016 & 2019; Mercola 2022; Rhéaume-Bleue 2016).

A small amount of K2-MK4 (a few micrograms) usually seems to be enough, but is needed more than once daily, preferably with almost every meal. 1/4 to 1/2 tsp emu oil three times a day may be the easiest way to do this, at any meal when you are not otherwise eating grass-fed or pasture-raised fatty animal foods.  Dr Weston A Price in his book.

Nxgen Emu Oil is 100% pure, and flows as a liquid at 25C. The traditional technique for making Emu Oil has been handed down by Aboriginal Elders using the most modern technology.

Nxgen Emu Oil quality is influenced by bird genetics, bird husbandry, diet & feed quality, growing conditions, climate, water quality, and low temperature rendering technology.  The low temperature rendering technique uses no deodorisers, bleaches, molecular distillation or hydrogenation, that would otherwise cause damage, and loss of nutrients with less efficacy.  

Our farmers raise their birds in a natural habitat, fed a diet free of GMO feed, with no vaccinations, no antibiotics, no growth hormones, no pesticides, no chemicals, making Nxgen Emu Oil the highest standard. 

Nxgen Wholefoods researched and found the best Australian Emu farms to source the highest quality Emu Fat, experimenting with technology and using evidence based testing with  close friends and family.

NXGEN Emu Oil is provided in a glass jar with CO2 flushing to keep oxygen out and improve quality. NXGEN Emu Oil is made using a low temperature method to retain the efficacy of all the active ingredients. There are absolutely no fillers, no additives, no chemicals used or added. 100% pure.

Dosing Recommendations – Adults take 1ml three times per day with or after meals or for adult intensive use take 2ml three times per day with or after meals.

For children take 1/2ml twice daily with or after meals or for children intensive use take 1ml twice daily with or after meals. Breastfeeding mumma’s can also apply Emu Oil to their nipples as a fabulously restorative balm and this is a terrific way for baby to also reap the nutritional benefits. I LOVE this multi functionality afforded by Emu Oil.

“The results of this trial found that 24 hours after emu oil–based cream applications (initiated shortly after delivery) were begun, there was an improvement in the level of stratum corneum hydration of the breast areolae…….topical emu oil treatments have been demonstrated to have potent anti-inflammatory activities and to lower pro inflammatory cytokine levels in the tissue; this leads to improved wound healing and recovery of damaged skin….animal models demonstrated the anti-inflammatory properties of transdermal emu oil applications that were found to be as effective as orally administered ibuprofen. In addition, emu oil contains variable levels of several compounds with antioxidant properties.”

Sage Journal

Remember that Emu Oil has excellent transdermal properties and can also be applied topically or used in the oral cavity for ‘oil pulling’.

Emu Oil by itself is much easier than swallowing a capsule.  Using a teaspoon scoop out the emu oil onto the teaspoon and place the Emu Oil on the tongue and swallow with water, the same way you would a capsule.  It’s that easy and much cheaper than capsule versions.  There is no after taste and your body will be using the nutrients the same way of our ancestors and traditional cultures.

For kids you may wish to place the jar in the fridge till firm and scoop out the oil for serving that way or blend into a smoothie. Only cold beverages, never hot. Mum’s like to add the oil to porridge or puree fruit or mix in their yoghurt.

Why does Emu Oil work well with cod liver oil?

The nutrients in Emu Oil go hand-in-hand with those in a fresh, raw cod liver oil because the levels of vitamin K2 in emu oil accompany the vitamin D3 in cod liver oil.

Here’s how the vitamins from these two supplements work as a team. Vitamin D3 initiates several important biological processes by “switching on” genes related to the expression of certain proteins. And vitamin K2 is essential for the activation of these proteins, suggesting that it may support the effects of vitamin D.

Scientific studies have found:

• • There are benefits of vitamin K2 for immune health in combination with vitamin D3.*
  • Vitamins D and K2 work together to regulate calcium metabolism.*
  • There’s a harmonious effect of vitamin K2 combined with vitamin D for heart health*
  • The effects of vitamin D3 and K2 on bone mass density are better when used together*

Storage Recommendations – Nxgen Emu Oil meets all international food safety standards and has a 3 year shelf life, when stored away from sunlight, with lid tightly sealed.  It can also be stored in the fridge if a firmer set is desired. Amber glass jars are used to maintain quality.
