Cetyl Myristoleate helps 97% if people who use it. I have seen this claim several times. It is simply not true. The research does not back it up and neither do those doctors who use it in practice. The percentage is closer to 70%. Of course percentage changes depending on type of arthritis you have. With nearly 100 types of arthritis nothing is going to work well on every type.

Cetyl Myristoleate is an anti aging agent. This is a powerful marketing tool. Every one wants to look and stay young. There is no research to back up this claim. Some of doctors I have talked to believe it base on their observations. I have over a dozen family members and friends who take CM faithfully and none of us look younger. Yet almost all of us feel younger because we can now do things again that we had to give up because of our arthritis. If this is what they are talking about I concur. But if they are claiming it will make you younger or keep you from aging I think they are stretching it.

It is necessary to take digestive enzymes with Cetyl Myristoleate. This is a hard one. I personally do not think everyone does. Some people have a hard time digesting fats. If taking CM causes you stomach upset then you need to take a digestive enzyme. Make sure it has lipase because it is enzyme that digests fat.

Cetyl Myristoleate will help you grow new cartilage. This is another unfounded claim. There is nothing in CM to help you grow cartilage. Once inflammation is down then your body may find it easier to replace cartilage damaged by inflammation.

Will Cetyl Myristoleate help me with my arthritis? I would like to end article with question most ask of me. The answer is I do not know. All I can say is research and my experience and experience of doctors I have talked to says that there is a 60% to 70% chance. Be reasonable about your expectations. CM is not going to repair bone damage, remove calcium deposits or repair other types of damage created by your arthritis. If you decide to try it do not pay too much. There is no need to pay $50, $80, $100 dollars or more. There are several good products in $20 to $50 range. If first bottle does not work for you do not waste your money on a second.

In a study conducted by Kowsalya et at., it was determined that 2.5 to 5.0 grams of Salacia Oblonga daily is effective in lowering blood glucose, serum cholesterol, triglycerides and increasing HDL cholesterol levels of non-insulin dependent diabetes patients.

It is know that glucose absorbed in body is converted into glycogens and neutral lipids by insulin and then accumulates as body fat and organ fat, thus causing obesity.

Salacia Oblonga inhibits breakdown of oligosaccharides (disaccharides and trisaccharides) such as sucrose, maltose, etc. into monosaccharides and inhibits absorption of monosaccharides such as glucose, mannose, etc. in body, preventing blood sugar levels from rising.

The presence of S.oblonga extract tended to lower postprandial glycemia and significantly reduced postprandial insulin response. The increase in breath hydrogen excretion suggests a mechanism similar to prescription alpha-glucosidase inhibitors.
