Ceytl Myristoleate is an all-natural medium chain fatty acid found in only a small number of very select species of animals. Clinical experience suggests that Cetyl Myristoleate acts as an anti-inflammatory, as well as a surfactant and lubricant for damaged joints. Basically, it makes them more "slippery." 

It is not habit-forming and contains no harsh chemicals or drugs that can cause side effects. It works in a natural manner by acting at the site of inflammation, is highly resistant to oxidation, it has a relatively long life in the body.

The main ingredient cetyl myristoleate, a natural oil compound, aids the body in its fight against joint decline in several ways. 

1) Arthritis Mobility supplements the body's natural supply of synovia, a viscous, transparent fluid that acts as a lubricant for many joints and tendons.  This in turn helps ease joint stiffness, friction, and grinding.

2) Arthritis Mobility helps soothe feelings of inflammation in afflicted joints.  

3) Arthritis Mobility supports the body as it deals with stiffness and pain.

4) Arthritis Mobility also contains type II collagen, Collagen itself is the most abundant protein in the human body, and type II collagen represents approximately 50 percent of the protein found in cartilage.  Type II collagen also consists of joint-supporting proteoglycans, protein molecules that are found in the cellular matrix of connective tissue.  These proteoglycans aid the body's anti-inflammatory response.   

WHAT IS CETYL MYRISTOLEATE

Cetyl myristoleate is the common name for cis-9-cetyl myristoleate. It is a completely natural substance found in certain animals, including beavers and mice. Clinical experience suggests that Cetyl Myristoleate acts as an anti-inflammatory, as well as a surfactant and lubricant for damaged joints. As supplied, it is a naturally derived, highly purified, and refined waxy ester prepared for oral administration.  Because it is an ester form, highly resistant to oxidation, it has a relatively long life in the body.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Cetyl Myristoleate seems to function in three 
very different capacities: 

• It serves as a lubricant for the joints & muscles

• It functions as an immune system modulator

• It functions like a fatty acid in that it mediates inflammatory processes

Inflammation is a crucial part of the process by which the body removes damaged cells and tissues and begins the repair process. For many, this system is out of balance causing excessive inflammatory reactions. Key nutrients can help the body normalize the inflammatory response, thus restoring balance.

Cetyl Myristoleate is a nutrient that acts against the cause of arthritis pain and inflammation. Drugs only treat the symptoms and bad side effects often make the problem worse.

DOES IT SUPPORT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM?

Maintaining a healthy immune system with Cetyl Myristoleate supports the body's normal immune responses and function. It is also beneficial for supporting the body as it deals with auto-immune disorders such as lupus.

WHAT CAUSES AUTO IMMUNE DISEASES? 

This is important, especially in health conditions where the immune system malfunctions and fails to differentiate between harmful body invaders (like bacteria and viruses) and healthy body tissues (like cartilage, bone, and muscle in and around the joints).  The immune system literally attacks these healthy tissues causing their degeneration.

IS IT HARMFUL IN ANY WAY?

Cetyl Myristoleate studies began at the U.S. National Institutes for Health more than 25 years ago. Recently, clinical application studies were conducted by the San Diego Clinic. No harmful short or long term effects were ever observed in humans or in laboratory animals, even in extremely high doses. Similar substances have been used in common foods, including cheese and chocolate and even in medicines and cosmetics. It is a perfectly safe, naturally derived substance.

DOES THE PROTOCOL WORK FOR BOTH OSTEOARTHRITIS AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS?

Both types of arthritis respond equally well. The program protocol, which includes the mixed fatty acid esters (including cetyl myristoleate), joint support capsules, and topical cream has also been found effective in treating other forms of arthritic conditions including gout, ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter's syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, and psoriasis. It has also been found to relieve various types of back pain of undetermined origin, which is more than likely arthritis-related.

HOW LONG IS IT BEFORE BENEFITS ARE NOTICED?

Most people begin to feel relief within ten - fourteen days. Others may take a bit longer and few may even need six - eight weeks.

IS AGE A FACTOR?

Not really. All ages respond well. Although arthritis is far more common in adults, even young children are sometimes afflicted. With small children, start with one-half of the recommended dose and increase slowly to a regular dose.

CAN DIET PLAY A ROLE IN OPTIMIZING THE BENEFITS OF CETYL MYRISTOLEATE?

Diet can play a role in optimizing the benefits of cetyl myristoleate. Carbonated cola beverages and citrus juices may block the absorption of cetyl myristoleate and should be avoided on the days cetyl myristoleate is taken. Sugar intake should be minimized when taking cetyl myristoleate, and adding refined sugar to liquids like coffee and tea should be avoided altogether while combating arthritis and chronic inflammatory condition.

SUMMARY

Benefits of Cetyl Myristoleate

1.  Supports healthy immune system function.

2.  Helps to soothe feelings of inflammation in afflicted joints

3.  Supplements the body's natural supply of synovia. (Synovia acts as a lubricant for many joints and tendons which helps ease joint stiffness, friction, and grinding)

4.  Cetyl myristoleate supports the body as it deals with stiffness and pain.

Because EFA's are necessary for normal functioning of all tissue, it is not surprising that the list of symptoms of EFA deficiency is a long one. In chronic inflammatory processes, the supply of EFA's is depleted. Cetyl myristoleate appears to have the ability to correct the imbalance created by chronic inflammation by serving as a mediator of prostaglandin formation and metabolism.

Venous blood from the gastrointestinal tract is carried to the liver via the portal vein. With the exception of intestinal chylomicrons that enter the lymphatics, all absorbed products pass initially through the liver, and in most instances are extracted or modified before passage into systemic circulation. Since all fatty acids enter systemic circulation from the liver, an oil like cetyl myristoleate would begin its systemic circulation from the liver also. 

It is speculated that cetyl myristoleate stimulates the production of immunoglobulins and series 1 and 3 prostaglandins, which could be one explanation for why cetyl myristoleate has such potent effects in auto-immune and inflammatory conditions.

As with any oil, cetyl myristoleate requires lipase to be digested. Lipases are pancreatic enzymes that play a key role in the digestion of fats ond fat soluble vitamins. If lipase is absent or deficient, cetyl myristoleate will be poorly absorbed, if at all.  Many arthritis patients are of the age when lipase production decreases. An Enzyme should be taken with each cetyl myristoleate capsule.
