Was wondering if anyone had tried Cetyl M and if they thought it had helped. I know that Texas A&M (?)and CSU have both recommended it for some horses. My Vet has said it will not hurt anything and maybe help.
Thank You,
Nancy |

My neighbor uses the human and dog version and thinks it is fantastic. She has a dog that is very old that she says would not be able to walk without it. |

Thank You for your response Vicki. That is encouraging to hear. I myself suffer from aches and pains due to age and am trying the human form to see if it helps with that.
Respectfully,

Hello Nancy,
There is information about this interesting compound, cetyl myristoleate, in the article Arthritis and DJD: An Overview.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site, joined as I'm doing research for which nutraceutical supplement to use for my 17 year old quarter horse gelding who was just diagnosed with spavin - (arthritic changes in his lower tarsal joints in his right leg and a bone spur on the distal tarsal bone. I am curious about recent experiences with cetyl myristoleate, came across this reference to a study by Kevin Keegan, DMW

Hun, My dog was 16 and I tried Cetyl M for him. It didn't help him, the vet gave us rymidil (don't know how to spell it) and it did wonders. Hope this helps you. |

Hello Cherie,
Dr Keegan has done some excellent studies on nutraceuticals and arthritis treatments. Because of the vigorous experimental design very small changes can be considered significant. A small but significant positive change was found in the Cetyl M treatment group. Essentially horses improved 0.7 of a grade on the 5 point AAEP lameness scale from a 2.7 to a 2.0. There were other measurements taken that I am less familiar with that mostly supported the AAEP grading but the one fly in the ointment is the VAS score of lameness at a trot, the gait by which AAEP scores are given, did not improve significantly, compared to placebo.
In conclusion there was a small positive change that may not be easily observed (less than one grade of lameness) so a question of cost versus benefit should be considered.

Just want to note that the product used was NOT "Cetyl M", but another called Myristol that comes from Dr Trotter. Following is an e-mail I received from him on how his product differs from Cetyl M.
HI Nancy,
Regarding Myristol and Cetyl M, some of the ingredients are the same and others differ. Both contain glucosamine and MSM but Myristol has 50% more of each of these ingredients per dose. The CM source does differ and this also results in there being 50% more CM per dose in Myristol. The added ingredient in Myristol not present in Cetyl M is hydrolyzed collagen. I cannot tell you specific dosage differences on the canine or human products, although I do know neither of the Cetyl M products contain collagen. The only other difference is that although the formula for Cetyl M equine has not changed, the dosage recommendation has been reduced from what it was previously. This means that the lower amounts of the 3 ingredients I just described (50% less) is now being suggested to be able to be given in even smaller amounts per day.
Thank you for your interest in Myristol. In a nutshell it is just a more potent product than Cetyl M.
Regards,
Gayle Trotter DVM

Sully, thanks for posting the info about Myristol, I was unable to find how it differed from Cytyl M. You provided the answer I was seeking. |
