CERTIFICATION OF CANYON RIVER PURE PREMIUM EMU OIL^TM

CANYON RIVER NATURALS certifies that CANYON RIVER PURE PREMIUM EMU OIL^TM is a pharmaceutical grade, therapeutic emu oil derived from the fat of selected livestock. The fat is processed through the very advanced CANYON RANCH proprietary PREMUFLO^TM Emu Oil Processing System. Furthermore:

1. All fat is harvested from emus that have been raised on a very highly researched diet developed by Canyon Ranch over a fourteen year period designed to produce consistent high quality fat with high levels of anti-inflammatory and healing compounds. The feed is not medicated.

2. All emu livestock are raised in a tightly controlled natural, healthy environment free of insecticides, pesticides and harmful chemicals. No anti-biotics, hormones, growth enhancers, or worming medicines are used. These controls allow us to produce very effective and consistent CANYON RANCH PURE PREMIUM EMU OIL^TM.

3. All fat is prepared for processing in accordance with Canyon Ranch standards at a slaughter facility which follows USDA guidelines. The fat is carefully removed from the emu, finely ground, placed into CRYOVAC® packages, and refrigerated within two hours of slaughter. The fat is delivered to the PREMUFLO^TM processing facility in a frozen state.

4. The PREMUFLO^TM system processes the emu fat into pure CANYON RIVER PURE PREMIUM EMU OIL^TM pharmaceutical grade, therapeutic emu oil without stripping out the anti-inflammatory and healing compounds that exist in high quality fat. The unique PREMUFLO^TM low temperature process does not create any health damaging trans-fatty acids or other non-natural molecular structures.

5. The processed oil is sterile and free of chemical residues. CANYON RIVER PURE PREMIUM EMU OIL^TM, processed in accordance with applicable edible oil standards, has no known adverse health affects. Final filtration is through a 1 micron absolute filter. The oil is packaged with a nitrogen blanket.

6. A healthy emu oil that can be used as a dietary supplement has always been one of our major goals. The proprietary PREMUFLO^TM process was developed and perfected by Canyon Ranch after more than a decade of concentrated research to produce CANYON RIVER PURE PREMIUM EMU OIL^TM without the need for using solvent extraction, hydrogenation, and the extremely corrosive caustics commonly used in other processes.

• The PREMUFLO^TM process does not use any solvent extraction which, although more efficient, can adversely impact health. Solvent extraction consists of dissolving the emu fat in a solvent such as hexane or heptane (essentially gasoline) and then heating the mixture to remove the solvent. Solvent residues may remain in solvent-extracted oils and even minute amounts of these solvents can have serious adverse health consequences.
• The PREMUFLO^TM process does not utilize any hydrogenation as it can cause odor problems with emu oil especially if moisture is present. Partial hydrogenation of oils also create trans-fatty acids and dozens of toxic altered molecules and residues which have well documented adverse health consequences.
• The PREMUFLO^TM process does not require the use of any of the extremely corrosive materials commonly used in oil processing. Residues of these caustic poisonous materials such as sodium hydroxide, known under the trade name DRANO®, a very efficient drain and sewer opener, can remain in the oil which again can have serious adverse health consequences.

7. At no time during PREMUFLO^TM processing has the fat or oil been subjected to temperatures exceeding 300° F. The oil is sterilized by holding it at 300°F for one hour in the absence of oxygen, light, and reactive materials.

8. Typical Physical Properties: at 20° C, CANYON RANCH PURE PREMIUM EMU OIL^TM is a semi-solid white to cream colored mass; at 60° C, it is a clear, slightly straw tinted liquid with effectively no odor.
