What Is Celadrin?

Celadrin is a natural anti-inflammatory compound that people use for arthritis, to improve joint function and mobility [R].

It is a mixture of cetylated fatty acids, which are formed by combining naturally occurring fats with cetyl alcohol.

Myristoleic acid was discovered in the 1970s in mice that were immune to arthritis. It was combined with cetyl alcohol to form cetyl myristoleate, the first cetylated fatty acid and the main component of Celadrin [R].

Some users prefer Celadrin to other pain-reducing creams due to its good safety profile [R, R, R].

Ingredients

Celadrin is a mixture of various cetylated fatty acids, including [R]:

• Cetyl myristoleate (most common)
• Cetyl myristate
• Cetyl palmitoleate
• Cetyl laurate
• Cetyl palmitate
• Cetyl oleate

It may also contain menthol as an additional active ingredient [R].

How It Works

Celadrin acts to reduce inflammation and pain by:

• Reducing the production of inflammatory compounds, prostaglandins (by blocking the COX-2 enzyme) [R].
• Reducing the release of chemicals that increase inflammation from white blood cells (leukotriene B4 and interleukin-1) [R].
• Regenerating cartilage and improving joint health. It protects cartilage from damage and provides more cushioning for the joint, according to a patent filed by the Life Science company [R].
• Reducing tissue damage by blocking the enzyme (thromboxane-A synthase) that increases inflammation [R, R, R].
