WHAT IS CM COMPLEX?
CM Complex™
("Myristin") contains a combination of long-chain fatty
acids extracted from beef tallow, as cetyl esters. The most
important ingredient is cetyl myristoleate, but also other cetyl
esters of fatty acids are present, all natural substances. Long
chain fatty acids are considered different from and superior to
ordinary omega fatty acids.
Myristin® is the name of the
original, patented Cetyl Myristoleate (also known as CM or CMO),
which was discovered by Harry W. Diehl. Diehl took a fatty acid,
myristoleic acid, and combined it with a fatty alcohol molecule,
cetyl alcohol, creating cetyl myristoleate. He discovered that it
was the presence of this compound in Swiss albino mice that
prevented them from developing arthritis. Diehl's laboratory
experiments on CM were published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical
Sciences in March, 1994.
CM Complex™
softgels are the only softgels on the market containing 40% cetyl
myristoleate. The large amount
of CMO per softgel (260 mg) allows consumers to take fewer capsules
daily and to consume the recommended amount of product in a shorter
time.
As a dietary
supplement CM Complex™ is used for a little over two months in
most cases in a therapeutic dosage of two (people weighing less than
approx. 150 lbs) to three capsules daily (adults average to heavy
adults). This dosage meets the generally recommended therapeutic
dosage of 500 - 600 mg cetyl myristoleate daily.
One CM Complex™
softgel is best taken three
times daily with
water on an empty stomach, about 30-45 minutes before meals, or
three softgels should be taken in the morning, if that fits your daily schedule better.

CM Complex™
is stabilized through a proprietary process that prevents
oxidation and toxicity. The stable fatty acids bring quick
relief from the discomforts of a variety of auto-immune
diseases. |

WHAT
DOES CM COMPLEX™ DO?
The long-chain
fatty acids in CM Complex™ work in similar fashion as omega
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). Essential fatty acids benefit the
arachidonic acid metabolism which in turn results in the formation
of beneficial prostaglandins and limits the production of bad
prostaglandins.
ADVANTAGES OF CM
Complex™
- CM Complex™ is
a powerful nutritious supplement which aids the body’s own
healing system and returns cells to a state of balance;
- CM Complex™
contains molecules with anti-inflammatory properties;
- CM Complex™enhances
the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes;
- CM Complex aids
joint movement (flexibility).

THE SCIENCE BEHIND
CM COMPLEX™ |
CM Complex™ ("Myristin"
brand) is a concentrated long-chain fatty acid complex. An
explanation of how long-chain fatty acids work is therefore
meaningful.
It is unknown exactly how CM works, but it is
worth exploring the many possibilities that have been proposed
based on clinical observations of symptom improvement,
scientific reviews of the chemistry of CM and published data on
one of the fatty acids in the complex.
A review of the recent literature on fatty
acids shows standard polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are
effective agents for inflammation relief.1-4 Fish
oils rich in n-3 fatty acids have demonstrated anti-inflammatory
effects against arthritis in numerous studies.5-7
Most studies attributed modulation of immune
and inflammatory response to eicosanoids and cytokine- mediated
effects.8 Cytokines and certain eicosanoids are
implicated in inflammatory conditions. It is thought that CM may
work through a similar but as yet unknown mechanism, although
there is some evidence that n-5 and n-9 fatty acids form
oxygenated metabolites through transcellular processing and that
these exert anti-inflammatory effects distinct from eicosanoids.9
A striking difference between the effect of
CM and PUFAs is the longer-lasting effects CM appears to have.
It is thought this may be due to some type of
"reprogramming" of T cells. This brings us to another
proposed mechanism of action, N-myristoylation.
Cytokine activity is linked to N-myristoylation, a
process in which myristic acid is bound to the glycine residues
in specific membrane proteins and is responsible for their
activation. There is some evidence that human myristoylation may
occur with other 14-carbon fatty acids, and perhaps include
myristoleic acid.10 And, in fact, a recent study
identified myristoleic acid as the cytotoxic component in saw
palmetto (Serenoa repens) that induces apoptosis in human
prostate cancer cells.11 These receptors bind
cytokines with high affinity, which in turn initiates
intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the effector
cell.12
Cellular
behaviors that can be affected include various secretions, gene
transcription, chemotaxis, and proliferation and differentiation
of hematopoietic stem cells, including T cells. These behaviors
directly affect immune function and inflammatory activities and
some affect pain response.13
