| Cetyl Myristoleate | Is derived from an environmentally friendly source, palmitic acid (a fatty acid in coconut and palm oils). Cetyl Myristoleate is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. Additionally, it acts as a highly effective lubricant in joints, muscles and other tissues, allowing them to move more smoothly. It is also an immune system modulator which can be effectual against auto-immune conditions. All of these characteristics contribute to its ability to act as an analgesic by removing the source of pain (inflamed and irritated tissues) so that there is no pain impulse. |

| Cholesterol | A waxy, fat-like substance manufactured in the liver and found in all tissues, it facilitates the transport and absorption of fatty acids. In foods, only animal products contain cholesterol. An excess of cholesterol in the bloodstream can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. |

| Clostridium Difficile | A spore-forming, gram-positive bacillus that produces exotoxins that are pathogenic to humans. C. difficile- associated disease (CDAD) ranges in severity from mild diarrhea to fulminant colitis and death. Antibiotic use is the primary risk factor for development of CDAD because it disrupts normal bowel flora and promotes C. difficile overgrowth. |
| | |
| Clostridium Perfringens | An unhealthy bacteria commonly found in the human gastrointestinal tract. |
| | |
| CoEnzyme | An organic nonprotein molecule, frequently a phosphorylated derivative of a water soluble vitamin, that binds with the protein molecule (apoenzyme) to form the active enzyme (holoenzyme). |
| | |
| CoEnzyme Q10 | A vital substance that assists in the oxidation of nutrients within cells to create energy. It is also highly efficient at protecting internal and external cell membranes against oxidation. All statin pharmaceuticals interfere with its production and thus require supplementation with CoQ10. |
| | |
| Collagen Type II | Is a dietary supplement that supports skin, joint and connective tissue health. It is naturally rich in Hyaluronic Acid (HA) a Cartilage Matrix Glycoprotein (TMGP), powerful substances that help protect the cartilage from breakdown and promote cartilage synthesis. |
| | |
| Colonize | The formation of compact population groups of the same type of microorganism, as the colonies that develop when a bacterial cell begins reproducing. |
