Cetyl
Myristoleate (CM) : Cetyl Myristoleate first came to prominence when
an experimental study showed it totally protected against artificially
induced arthritis was published in 1994, Journal of Pharmaceutical
Sciences.
Cetyl
Myristoleate seems to function in three capacities. It lubricates joints
and muscles, making them soft and pliable. Secondly, it appears to
function as an immune system modulator. This may be the reason it has
been found to the effective in managing autoimmune diseases such as
rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus and multiple sclerosis. Last, it
mediates inflammatory processes.
Bromelain
: This enzyme is a mainstay for treating muscle injuries, but its
anti-inflammatory actions also ease arthritis pain. Bromelain breaks
down scar tissue, reduces water retention and blocks inflammation.
Antioxidants : Antioxidants are nutrients that stabilize free
radicals. Free radicals are highly unstable molecules that attack
tissues, including joint tissues. Antioxidants prevent free-radical
induced tissue damage and resulting inflammation.
Antioxidants
include OPCs (or more commonly known as Pycnogenol, vitamins A, C, E,
Zinc, Selenium, etc.
Essential
Fatty Acids : The joint inflammation is regulated in large part by
essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6. While omega-3 fatty acids
prevent the production of pro-inflammatory prostglandin E2 (PGE2),
omega-6 fatty acids help product the beneficial prostaglandin E1 (PGE1).
A balance intake of both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is necessary to
prevent inflammation and arthritis.
