Pain and Health Management System
Our body is under constant stress. Activity, inactivity, diet, lifestyle and ultimately aging all wreak havoc on our health and general well being. Through aches, pains, injuries and ailments, our body lets us know it needs help. Providing our body with the means to heal itself affords us a greater quality of life. This is not a new concept. It is a basic truism. Current census data reports that the population is aging at a rate like never before and, as a result, the demand for relief is unlimited. A safe, highly effective means of not only healing injury, but also preventing injury and maintaining general health is the optimal solution. 100% Progressive Emu products factor ideally into this equation.
As the world’s largest producer of premium emu oil, Progressive Emu, Inc. specializes in the development of pain management and health maintenance systems. Our high quality emu oil is uniquely beneficial in the development of such products. By itself, 100% Progressive Emu Oil is an anti-inflammatory agent. It eases muscle ache, joint pain and penetrates the skin with a speed and completeness that is unparalleled. All of this, paired with the fact that it is absolutely hypoallergenic, makes our emu oil itself quite intriguing. Equally impressive is the ability of the oil to act as an enhancer for the transport of bioactive compounds through the skin making it the ultimate transdermal carrier. Because emu oil is a very effective emulsifier, we are able to compound the oil with other bioactive ingredients. Once compounded, a synergistic effect is created, meaning that the compound is more effective than its individual components.
This topical/transdermal delivery system makes sense for a number of reasons. First, studies have shown that transdermal application with emu oil compounds reach problem areas (muscles, joints, etc.) more rapidly and at higher levels of concentration than the same bioactive compounds ingested orally. Second, and very much related, a transdermal delivery system is not nearly as taxing on the liver as oral ingestion, particularly ingestion of synthetic materials. When ingested orally, 80% of bioactive ingredients go directly into the liver. This is known as Phase One. After becoming systemic, this bioactive component returns to the liver for another pass, known as Phase Two. Transdermal delivery of a bioactive compound, however, totally skips Phase One, reaching its intended purpose in greater concentration. Then, once buffered through the body, it reaches the liver during Phase Two with only about 8% of the bioactive compound.
Giving our body the means to heal itself safely, more effectively, and more naturally is what the Progressive Emu's Pain Management and Health Maintenance System is all about.
