Cetyl myristoleate (CMO) is the common name for cis-9-cetyl myristoleate, a compound synthesized from cetyl alcohol and mysristoleic acid. The rational for the use of CMO is that it may inhibit the production of inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
    CMO was discovered in 1972 by Harry W. Diehl, Ph.D., a researcher at the National Institutes of Health. At the time, Dr. Diehl was responsible for testing anti-inflammatory drugs on lab animals. In order for him to test the drugs, he first had to artificially induce arthritis in the animals by injecting a heat-killed bacterium called Freund’s adjuvant. Dr. Diehl discovered that Swiss albino mice did not get arthritis after injection of Freund’s adjuvant. Eventually, he was able to determine that cetyl myristoleate CMO was the factor present naturally in mice that was responsible for this protection. When CMO was injected into various strains of rats, it offered the same protection against arthritis. It has been proposed that CMO acts as a joint “lubricant” and anti-inflammatory agent.

CMO questions
Q. I am Interested in the CMO product by Physician Formulas. It recommends on the label 1 tablet a day. Many of
 the other cmo products on the market recommend about 6 tablets a day. I want the product to work. Is more better, or just a waste? recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
   A. Since hardly any human studies have been done with CMO, there is no clear understanding of the dosage required for optimal benefit. Hence, it is a good and safe idea to start with one capsule of CMO and gradually increase over days and weeks with medical supervision until an amount is reached that provides a satisfactory response.

Q. What is the amount of CMO in the CMO 400 mg complex capsule? Is it 40% which is 160 mg pure CMO? What is the amount of CMO in the Joint Power Rx capsule? Is the 100 mg pure CMO, or is it the CMO complex?
   A. Cetyl Myristoleate complex - 400 mg (Fatty acid complex with cetyl myristoleate at 40 percent, along with several other fatty acids including cetyl myristate, cetyl palmitate, cetyl laurate, cetyl palmitoleate, and cetyl oleate). So it is 160 mg CMO per 400 mg of CMO complex. In the Joint Power Rx, it is 100 mg of CMO complex which is 40 mg of CMO.

Q. Has the source of beef tallow been tested free of mad cow disease?
   A. Mad cow disease comes from brain tissue of cows, not from their body fat.
