Ostrich oil for nutrition
University studies show that more than 70% of fatty acids in oil fall into the range of unsaturated acids. These semi-unsaturated and monosaturated fats result in a reduction of cholesterol in blood. The oil also contents Omega 3,5,6,7, and Omega 9 fatty acids. The human body needs these fatty acids but it cannot produce them themselves, so it must obtain them from food. Ostrich oil contains essential fatty acids, making it rare and indispensable for nutrition.

Ostrich eyes and blood vessels
Eyes and blood vessels of the African ostrich are also used in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical companies and research institutes buy ostrich eyes for research to treat cataracts by people. Ostrich blood vessels help by research focused on vascular diseases.
