What is the consistency of this product? I know it's oil but I'm asking because I need to know if it can be easily run through a feeding tube.

My answer is the same with HD; my son is vegetative and he is getting 10ml a day to stimulate his brain as a nutrient. The oil goes in the feeding tube followed by water bolus. The oil is expensive and it floats on top of water so rinse the cup with water to get every drop of oil.

I'm not a doctor and not knowledgable about feeding tubes, but if you ran run regular olive oil through a feeding tube, then you can run this through it as well.

I use it in a feeding tube. Have not had a problem, just make sure to flush with warm water.

The consistency is same as that of Canola oil's consistency and will easily run through a feeding tube.

It's viscous but not overly so. I don't think it'd be difficult to get it to flow through a feeding tube.

I am pretty sure it is. Coconut oil does change consistency with the temperature... if it is cool/cold then it will gel, if it is warm then it is more of an oil.

It is not runny nor goopy. It is pretty normal, by my experience. It don't think there is a manufacture date printed on the container, but if it has separated I'd just shake it up. I have worked through my three tubes over several months now and the last one is no different than the 1st.

Does not say anything on tube, so I would think not. Food grade lubricants are usually labeled as suitable or approved for such use.

Mfg. info does not address this. I use Canola oil which is healthy and only use 2/3 what they suggest. Product is fantastic!!!!

I have researched the oil and when mixing it yourself you would only use 10 drops of the oil in a pint of other ingredients. So while you think you are getting ripped off, you are not. 10 drops is all that is needed and it is the active ingredient.

No problem. Standard 5w-30 (no mix) is all it takes. I got mine at WalMart. They also sell synthetic 5w-30. I changed the oil after the first 5 hours. Went with synthetic.

This product is raw. You can use the oil as is as a supplement or the oil can be used for cooking.

I've had my container for a couple of years now and still has the same consistency as when I opened it. It's about the same as consistency as a container of heavy grease. If you want it thinner just add water, you have a lifetime supply to experiment with , thick or thin. I hope this helps you out, it's good stuff.

According to the label and literature when I last checked a few months ago, this oil comes from cold water ocean fish, not farmed......This is a reputable brand as well....and the price is reasonable.....drink it down with some warm water is one good way............

I think its either water or food colored veggie oil.....but not like a thick substance......it seems like its water based

I have used the miracle grow liquid and it works wonderfully. Make sure though its a purely fluid plant food, some have chunks of special fertilizer in them, though those usually have their own special dispenser. I haven't had any issue with it so far using most plant foods :)

It's boiled down to a paste consistency. I know it says that it is from "NOW FOODS", but I wouldn't want to use it as a food item. Am sure that all the boiling that has been done to it would kill off anything that is living, so I wouldn't be afraid to grease a pan with it. IF you are going to apply it to your hands, use a drop of another cream, like Eucerin, to help dissolve it and make it easier to work into the hands.

I actually didn't know that. I'm new to the essential oils. I under the impression that this was a pure, unprocessed essential oils, so I would be disappointed if it was processed. If you learn anything, please let me know. -thank you

Made by the same company that makes products for skin. I add this oil to regular lotion and have had no problems. It is not recommended for this so I am not recommending it. The oil for use as pesticide (works great when mixed with water, dish soap, and cinnamon oil, by the way. Find a recipe online.) costs a lot less. Is it the same? I do not know. Has worked for me though some people find the oil somewhat irritating on skin.

Sorry I only bought it once but at the time I was very concerned about the same thing and wanting to be sure it was REAL olive oil. It was very good but I'm using Olive oils that real food bloggers have recommended and sourcing them in my local food co-op.

I use it premixed in my race boat outboard at 40:1. It is no heavier than other oils and I see nno reason it can't be injected.
