Cetyl myristolaeate is a form of fatty acid and enhances the natural lubrication in joints provided by cartilage and synovial fluid, which, by normal aging processes becomes depleted. It has been found to be most effective when combined with glucosamine, chondroitin and SAMe, though the cetyl myristoleate does not need to be taken on a consistent long term basis as its effects are long lasting. This combination has proven very effective for treatment of osteoarthritits and has also shown benefit in rheumatoid arthritis.
With gastrointestinal upset, try backing the dose down, you may be getting too much.
hope this helps some.
Good luck!
