Liver impairment can be caused by diseases, such as hepatitis, alcohol or drug abuse. In these cases, bile salts or lecithin may be helpful in emulsifying the cetyl myristoleate. Also, the enzyme lipase may help in breaking down the oil so that it can be absorbed. It's best to avoid steroids if possible. Check with your doctor.
All ages respond well.
Although arthritis is far more common in adults, even young children are sometimes afflicted. With small children, start with one-half of the recommended dose and increase slowly to a regular dose. Diet can play a role in optimizing the benefits of cetyl myristoleate. Carbonated cola beverages and citrus juices may block the absorption of cetyl myristoleate and should be avoided on the days cetyl myristoleate is taken. Sugar intake should be minimized when taking cetyl myristoleate, and adding refined sugar to liquids like coffee and tea should be avoided altogether while combating arthritis and chronic inflammatory condition.
