Cetyl Myristoleate (CMO) is described as an ester of a fatty acid. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats and oils just as amino acids are the components of protein. Science now recognizes the value of certain oils in reducing inflammation as well as blood cholesterol. When the fatty acid myristoleic acid (a natural substance) is combined with a long chain alcohol molecule, cetyl alcohol, an ester of this fatty acid is created.

CMO appears to function in three different ways. One of its actions is that of a super lubricant, a kind of "WD-40 for the joints". Muscles and other tissues also benefit from the lubricating effect which also helps to make them more pliable.

Second, CMO functions as an immune system modulator. This has been demonstrated by its effectiveness in autoimmune diseases (lupus, multiple sclerosis) as well as inflammatory conditions. Researchers are not sure how CMO performs in this role, but a possible explanation is that it helps to stimulate certain immune components such as immunoglobulins.

The third function of CMO is its anti-inflammatory effect. The believed mechanism is regulation of prosta-glandins, short-acting local hormones involved in many processes of the body, including the inflammatory response.
