CMO information and benefits for arthritis and osteoarthritis - Can CMO or cetyl myristoleate be used together with glucosamine and chondroitin?

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. For more CMO information by Ray Sahelian, M.D.
    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 supplement for dog
Q. Just wanted to know if this product, i.e. the CMO capsules are safe to give to my 40 lb. dog, and does it even work for dogs?
   A. We have not seen studies regarding the use of CMO in dogs so we don't know if it is effective for dogs or cats or other pets, and if it is effective, what the appropriate dosage would be. Some people like to use CMO for their dogs, others like to use Joint Power Rx.

 

Does cetyl myristoleate interfere with the use of tribulus terrestris extract herb?
   A. We don't suspect there would be any significant interactions. We will update this article with additional
