What is Cetyl Myristoleate? Cetyl Myristoleate is a naturally
occurring protective dietary factor (fatty acid ester) which has
been shown in laboratory experiments to promote resistance to
swelling, tenderness, and pain in joints. Cetyl Myristoleate is
intended for dietary supplement use only.
Where is Cetyl Myristoleate found in nature? Cetyl Myristoleate
is found in sperm whales. mice, beavers, cows, and some nut sources.
HOW WAS CETYL MYRISTOLEATE DISCOVERED?
Harry Diehl, who retired after 40 years of service at the National
Institutes of Health in the Laboratory of Chemistry of the National
Institute of Arthritis, Metabolic, and Digestive Diseases, discovered
Cetyl Myristoleate. After his retirement, Diehl pursued the scientific
fact that some species of mice do not get joint problems and discovered
Cetyl Myristoleate through his investigations. In fact: as a result
of his research Mr. Diehl has obtained two United States patents;
one in Sept. 1977 and another in Oct. 1996 for demonstrating the
potential of Cetyl Myristoleate in preventing and treating joint
inflammation and pain.
HOW IS CETYL MYRISTOLEATE TAKEN?
Cetyl Myristoleate is used at a higher dose for a one to two
month course, generally taken 2-3 times per day between meals,
followed by a much smaller maintenance dose thereafter, along
with additional joint support products such as Glucosamine
and Chondroitin, Methyl sulfonyl
methane (MSM), essential fatty acids and/or the herb:
Cat's Claw. It is also helpful
to take a Digestive Enzyme
each time one takes a dose of Cetyl Myristoleate.
Dosages range from 10-15 grams over a 3-4 week period, followed
by a much lower maintenance dosage. Keep in mind that it is vital
to provide your body with the proper nutrition to help healing
take place as the CM does its work.
According to recent clinical trials, the benefits of Cetyl Myristoleate
were enhanced by approximately 25% when combined with additional
support products, such as those listed above.

CAN I USE CETYL MYRISTOLEATE WITH THE OTHER MEDICATIONS I
USE REGULARLY?
Yes. There is no known drug incompatibility; however use of steroids
can be destructive to the liver and may inhibit one's ability
to metabolize Cetyl Myristoleate, rendering it ineffective.
WILL MY DIET EFFECT CETYL MYRISTOLEATE?
Some items in diets do conflict with the fatty acids that cartilage
in joints require to remain healthy. Most notably these are: carbonated
beverages, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, white
sugar and citrus juices, such as orange and grapefruit.
On days when Cetyl Myristoleate is taken, it may also be helpful
to avoid nightshade plants and vegetables including: tomatoes,
potatoes, eggplant and peppers.
CAN I GIVE CETYL MYRISTOLEATE TO MY CHILD?
No. It is packaged in an adult form. It should be given
to children only under the supervision of a health care professional.
What if I am pregnant or have medical conditions? As with any
substance, pregnant women or nursing mothers should use Cetyl
Myristoleate supplement only after consulting their health care
professional. Individuals with severely impaired liver function
should also consult their health care professional before using
Cetyl Myristoleate.
