Cetyl Myristoleate (CMO)Glycine + NAC (GlyNAC)
CategorySupplementsSupplements
Standard Dose
Timing
Cycle Duration
Evidence LevelLimited-ModerateStrong

Mechanism

Fatty acid ester with anti-inflammatory and joint-lubricating properties. Modulates immune response by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase and modulating prostaglandin synthesis. Reduces joint inflammation and improves range of motion in arthritic conditions.

Contraindications

  • Severe liver disease

Mechanism

Combination that restores glutathione synthesis. Age-related glutathione deficiency is driven by glycine and cysteine precursor depletion, not enzyme dysfunction. GlyNAC corrects oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and insulin resistance in older adults.

Contraindications

  • Active stomach ulcer (NAC)
  • Asthma (NAC may cause bronchospasm in rare cases)
