In a placebo controlled study, patients with chronic knee Osteoarthritis, were given supplements containing the ingredient cetyl myristoleate (CMO). Those who took the supplements showed significant improved range of motion and overall functioning compared to the control group. This study, published in the August 2002, Journal of Rhuematology, was the first notable CMO study since H. W. Diehl’s clinical study on CMO reported in the March 1994 issue of The Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Even more recently, May, 2005, a study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research reports that a topical cream containing CMO, applied twice daily for one week, was equally as effective as the supplements. The CMO cream improved stair climbing, range of motion and general ability to “get up and go”.
