Lorem Emu Oil Balm for Muscle and Joint Relief, 100g

Product Information

Essential fatty acids: Emu oil is high in omega-3, omega 6, and omega-9 fatty acids. These help reduce inflammation, ease muscular pain, and arthritic joint pain.

The different types of emu oil depend on the different levels of filtration and processing. Mashtoub, S., Tran, C. D., & Howarth, G. S.(2013, September 18).
