Understanding Cetyl Myristoleate (CM8®)
The science and facts behind Flexcin’s key ingredient
CM8 is a form of the natural compound Cetyl Myristoleate (described in more detail below). Cetyl Myristoleate works as a pain reliever, joint lubricant, and anti-inflammatory. It is the only compound to have patents for the treatment of arthritis (US Patents # 4,049,824; 4,113,881; and 5,569,676).
In simplest terms, CM8 is a form of Cetyl Myristoleate that is distilled and crystallized to be more effective and isolate the most effective properties of Cetyl Myristoleate. More Scientifically, CM8 is a specific form of Cetyl Myristoleate in which only the “physiologically active” fatty acid esters have been isolated, eliminating the ineffective, inert fatty acid esters. It’s named for the 8 “critical markers” that have been identified and used in the raw material patented by Harry Diehl, the NIH researcher who discovered Cetyle Myristoleate. these critical markers make CM8 a form of Cetyl Myristoleate that is more effective than other forms (such as CMO, which is an “analog” of Cetyl Myristoleate; in chemistry terms, this means “similar” – it is not Cetyl Myristoleate, but a “similar” compound). CM8 is only currently available in products produced by Flexcin International.
