Since the 1970s, many people have been taking Vitamin C, not only as a dietary supplement but also to cure various diseases. Because of this, some governments are making laws that require vitamin supplement manufacturers to label their products as dietary supplements not intended to treat or prevent any illness. Some doctors contend that Vitamin C is an antioxidant that, when taken together with prescription drugs, can enhance the drugs’ effectiveness. At any rate, governments consider it impossible to regulate the use of Vitamin C as a cure for sickness, so they are requiring manufacturers to issue warnings instead.

(a) Some patients do not take Vitamin C because of its antioxidant effect.
(b) Governments are creating laws to reduce the recommended intake of Vitamin C.
(c) People will continue to take Vitamin C to cure diseases despite government intervention.
