Today, we are the world’s leading producer of quality emu oil.
Emu oil is derived from a large, flightless bird native to Australia. While emu oil had been known to the aboriginal people of the Australian Outback for centuries as a treatment for many ailments, the bird was largely unknown in the West until 2001 when Dr. Robert Nicolosi, Professor and Director of the Center for Health & Disease Research at the University of Massachusetts- Lowell, released results of ongoing research that proved emu oil "does have cholesterol lowering, anti-inflammatory, and trans-dermal properties."
After harvesting the emu, the fat is refined to remove impurities. The result of this refinement process is emu oil. The oil is approximately 70% unsaturated fatty acids. Emu oil fatty acids are 50% Oleic fatty acid (Omega-9), 15 - 20% linoleic fatty acid (Omega-6), and 1 - 2% linolenic fatty acid (omega-3).
Emu oil contains a complete balance of these essential fats that are not produced naturally in our body and therefore must be obtained through food or dietary supplement. EFAs are a natural part of the cell's lining and play a part in almost every function of our body. They are the conduit through which oxygen exchange occurs in the human body providing the energy required to sustain life.
LB Processors, LLC. uses a custom designed, all-natural process to refine the oil. Since emu oil is low on soaps (formed by free fatty acids), harsh chemicals are not required. This ensures a natural, stable, odorless, and color correct finished product.
All of our emu oil products are produced with great care and under the direct supervision of owner/ operators Paul and Katy Binford in our FDA and State of Tennessee approved processing facility. Our products are safe, effective, and guaranteed to be of the highest quality available.
