                  <p align="left" class="mainfont">As most people know, vitamin 
                    C is a very important and necessary component of daily living. 
                    Vitamin C is active in more functions of more organs in the 
                    body than any other. It is an essential maintenance and &quot;booster&quot; 
                    vitamin of the immune system. It is also used in the metabolism 
                    of the amino acid tyrosine. Chronic bleeding and bruising 
                    have been linked to insufficient vitamin C, and everyone knows 
                    that scurvy is caused by the same.</p>
                  <p align="left" class="mainfont">Vitamin C deficiencies can 
                    be result from many different things including the use of 
                    ACTH in the treatment of arthritis. Sulfa drugs also increase 
                    urinary depletion of the vitamin. Antibiotics may also lead 
                    to low levels of vitamin C. The biggest cause of depletion 
                    of vitamin C may, however, be from smoking. Studies have shown 
                    that smoking can deplete vitamin C (ascorbic acid) levels 
                    by as much as 30%.</p>
                  <p align="left" class="mainfont">When the body utilizes vitamin 
                    C, it also consumes minerals necessary in the process. This 
                    product supplies needed minerals along with vitamin C so your 
                    body will get everything it needs in just one product. However, 
                    if you have an especially sensitive gastrointestinal tract, 
                    we offer a specially buffered source of vitamin C, <a href="vitaminc.html">Vitamin 
                    C+,</a> for your comfort and convenience.</p>
