Optimizing the
Effects of Cetyl Myristoleate
Since the days of Paracelsus, physicians have been combining
therapeutic agents for synergistic effects, or to achieve potentiation
of several compounds. As powerful a nutrient as it is, the effects
of cetyl myristoleate can be helped by combining it with other
natural substances. Two or three grams daily of omega-3 fish
oil or two tablespoonfuls of flaxseed oil during the month-long
course of cetyl myristoleate can help its effects. This should
be accompanied by 300-500 mg of Vitamin E daily. A minimum of
1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate should be taken daily for at
least three months to assist in rebuilding cartilage damaged
by degenerative arthritis. In severe cases, three to six grams
of glucosamine daily for one month and reduced to 1,500 mg daily
for three months has been found to be very effective. Afterwards,
a daily maintenance of 500 mg of glucosamine should be used for
healthy cartilage. If stomach upset occurs, glucosamine should
be taken with meals.
Clinical experience has shown that glucosamine sulfate is far
superior when compared to cartilage extracts, such as sea cucumber,
hydrolyzed bovine cartilage, and shark cartilage. This is due
to the increased absorption and utilization of glucosamine sulfate
compared to these sources of chrondroitin sulfates, which are
very large molecules and difficult to digest. Animal and human
studies have shown up to 98% absorption of glucosamine,10,11
compared to only 8% absorption of chrondroitin sulfate.12
One of the reasons that glucosamine sulfate is more effective
in rebuilding cartilage when compared to other sources of glucosamine,
including the N-acetyl and hydrochloride forms, is that it provides
bioavailable dietary sulfur. Sulfur helps provide the protein
links necessary for cartilage matrix repair. Another source of
sulfur is methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which has been used historically
to treat a wide variety of conditions including allergies, emphysema,
arthritis, gastrointestinal upset, and some vascular conditions.
MSM is a metabolize of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and provides
many similar good effects. MSM is found in most natural unprocessed
foods. Because of its volatility, MSM is lost when fresh food
is cooked, processed, or stored. The richest source of MSM is
mother's milk; consequently, very few nursing infants are deficient
in dietary sulfur.
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 and fat soluble vitamins. If lipase is absent or deficient,
cetyl myristoleate will be poorly absorbed, if at all. As many
arthritis patients are of the age when lipase production decreases,
approximately 100 mg of lipase enzyme should be taken with each
cetyl myristoleate capsule. In addition to taking lipase, cholecystectomy
patients will need lecithin or ox bile extract to assure absorption.
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. Alcohol and
caffeine intake should be very limited or eliminated altogether
while combating arthritis and chronic inflammatory conditions.
