You can take emu oil internally straight from the bottle, but you need to make sure the oil is suitable for dietary supplement use.

There are different grades of emu oil available.

According to the American Emu Association (AEA), there are 3 grades of emu oil.

• Grade A - Used for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and dietary supplements.
  
  
• Grade B - Used in some cosmetic and industrial applications.
  
  
• Grade C - Crude emu oil used for hot process soaps and animal feed
  

AEA Certified Fully Refined Emu Oil is Grade A emu oil in which the sample is sent to an American Oil Chemist Society (AOCS) chemist for an independent analysis.

The results of that analysis are registered with the American Emu Association. The AEA Certified Fully Refined seal is your assurance that a third party tested the oil for purity.

Not all emu oils are AEA-certified so you need to check on the purity and testing of emu oil if you want to use it as a dietary supplement.

All AEA-certified emu oil is Grade A and suitable for pharmaceutical and dietary supplement use.
