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.
