Uses & Effectiveness
Possibly Effective for
- A type of arthritis called osteoarthritis. Taking a specific blend of cetylated fatty acids combined with soy lecithin and fish oil by mouth seems to decrease pain and improve knee motion in people with knee osteoarthritis. However, this combination does not appear to improve knee stiffness in the morning. Applying the same specific blend of cetylated fatty acids directly to the skin either alone or in combination with menthol also seems to decrease pain and improve function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Insufficient Evidence for
- Rheumatoid arthritis.
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
- Multiple sclerosis.
- Reiter's syndrome.
- Behcet's syndrome.
- Sjogren's syndrome.
- Psoriasis.
- Fibromyalgia.
- Emphysema.
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
- Silicone breast disease.
- Leukemia and other cancers.
- Various types of back pain.
- Other conditions.
Side Effects & Safety
Cetylated fatty acids are POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth or applied to the skin, short-term. Side effects have not been reported. But there is not much information available about the safety of long-term use.Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of cetylated fatty acids during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.Interactions
We currently have no information for CETYLATED FATTY ACIDS Interactions.
Dosing
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
BY MOUTH:
- For osteoarthritis: 1050 mg of a specific blend of cetylated fatty acids plus 150 mg of soy lecithin and 225 mg of fish oil taken 6 times daily.
- For osteoarthritis: a specific blend of cetylated fatty acids applied twice daily to the affected joint
