Description
Myristic acid is an orally active saturated 14-carbon fatty acid found in most animal and plant fats, especially milk fat coconut oil, palm oil and nutmeg oil. Myristic acid exerts anti-inflammatory activity through the NF-κB pathway. Myristic acid has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties[1][2][3][4].
