15. Comparison shopping for best value?

Myristin® is the original oil formula, which is the natural state of cetyl myristoleate. There are many products on the market which offer CM under various names with limited potency. Some of the products are capsules which contain a powdered material, usually with 60-75 mg of CM per capsule. They are sold for various prices, but let us take an example of 100 capsules for $99.50, providing 7.5 grams of CM, or $13.26 per gram. If there are other prices and capsule counts listed, you can calculate the price per gram of elemental CM. If the distributor will not tell you how much CM is in each capsule, or if the label does not state the amount, beware!
Myristin’s 260 mg per capsule means that fifty-one capsules, at $54.95 for the Myristin® only, yields 13.25 grams of CM per bottle, which costs $4.15 per gram. Few people would want to take 100 or more capsules when 51 capsules would provide what they want at a lower price.
Other products contain cetyl myristate, not cetyl myristoleate, so be sure you are buying genuine cetyl myristoleate.
Several distributors claim that their product is from a vegetable source. At the present time there is only one known vegetable-derived commodity or article of commerce that contains commercially viable concentrations of myristoleic acid, a necessary ingredient in manufacture of cetyl myristoleate. This material is known as kombo butter. If you wish to have a vegetable-derived CM containing approximately 10% CM, contact us by Email and we will see about getting the authentic vegetable-derived CM.
As a practical matter, almost all cetyl myristoleate is made by using myristoleic acid from bovine sources, which are generally available and contain sufficient amounts of myristoleic acid. Anyone buying a cetvl myristoleate product claimed to be from a vegetable source should demand incontrovertible proof of the vegetable source, if one of the reasons for the purchase is the alleged vegetable source. If the distributor will not certify that the source of the myristoleic acid is kombo butter; then you will not be getting bona-fide vegetable product.
