The Breakthough – Vitamin K2-MK4

The industry knew the oil seemed to be helping some ailments such as arthritis but we were unsure why it did it. About 10-15 years ago one of the farmers in our group suggested that we all go with this certain type of emu as the oil appeared to be more potent. Over a few years the group had the same oil and unlike fish oil, the oil you have today is the same if not better than the previous bottle.

The oil was tested just 3-4 years ago and it was discovered it was extremely high in the vitamin K2-MK4, an element that boosts your immune system naturally.

With Covid on the doorstep it was no wonder the industry cannot keep up supply.

Samples of emu oil were analysed for vitamin K2, according to a method developed at Charles Sturt University based on literature methods (see below). This method measures one of the types of vitamin K2, known as menaquinone-4 or MK-4.

Previous desktop research determined that natto was the food with the highest reported vitamin K2 levels, with values in the range 800-1000 μg/100 g (EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, 2017). Three of the oils tested, all from the same supplier, were in this range.
