Growing older and wiser doesn't necessarily mean you're getting stronger. In fact, as you age, it's likely that you are exposed to more stress inducers and environmental pollutants, which can lower your bodys resistance. Weaker bones, skin damage, even heart disease are just some of the things that you begin worrying about as you get older. But one simple solution can help

prevent most, if not all, of the potential problems that come with aging: VITAMIN C. Widely known as an effective treatment for common colds and flu, Vitamin C is actually one of the most important nutrients needed by the body. As a health-promoting and cancer-fighting antioxidant, it plays the role of protector by preventing cell damage caused by free radicals, protecting your skin and gums from everyday wear-and tear, and, helping stave off cardiovascular diseases. Here's a rundown of some key benefits from taking Vitamin C daily: 1. Protects against heart disease and heart attacks. Vitamin C maintains and helps strengthen the walls of our arteries and improves the function of blood vessels. A recent study done in California indicates that at least 500mg of Vitamin C taken daily improves blood vessel functions, which can minimize the risk of heart disease. 2. Helps maintain healthy skin. We shouldnt just rely on special creams or moisturizers to maintain supple, beautiful skin. Taking Vitamin C helps produce collagen, an important protein found in skin, bones, teeth, tendons and ligaments. Its anti-oxidant properties also help heal damaged skin and protect it from free radicals that come from toxic chemicals and pollutants. 3. Strengthens bones. Since Vitamin C produces collagen, it has a good effect on bone density and bone development. Collagen also prevents bone degeneration, and, coupled with exercise and proper diet, can even help prevent osteoporosis. 4. Helps heal wounds faster. Time may heal emotional wounds, but Vitamin C helps heal physical wounds faster. Vitamin Cs anti-oxidant properties and its ability to synthesize collagen also aids in the repair of connective tissues and skin. 5. Reduces stress. Work, personal and monetary concerns all these compound as we grow older and take on more responsibilities. Vitamin C can reduce the negative effects of stress on our mental and physical health, by inhibiting the release of stress hormones in our bodies. Higher doses of this nutrient are also required to stimulate our bodys adrenal function when prolonged stress depletes Vitamin C from our body. Just because we're older doesnt mean that weve outgrown the need for Vitamin C. With its many beneficial properties that help slow down the ageing process, you dont have to spend a lot on miracle creams or tons of supplements as you go about your quest for the fountain of youth. You can age gracefully and keep your youthful vigor and health with a daily dose of Vitamin C, such as POTEN-CEE FORTE. Its 1-gram formulation sufficiently gives all the benefits of Vitamin C to help you cope with the stress and challenges of adult life. And, with its 8-hour time-release formula, youre sure to have a constant level of Vitamin C in the blood to keep your immune system protected all throughout the day providing effective, sustained defense against sickness. Remove the effects of age, pollution and stress from your face and body. Make it a habit to take POTEN-CEE FORTE to help you maintain your energy, vitality, and beauty all day, every day!

POTEN-CEE is 100% Vitamin C enhances your and your familys resistance against sickness. It comes in Drops, Syrup, and Tablet (Sugar-Coated, Sugar-Free, Forte Time-Release, and Chewable) formats and is available in leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide. The key to optimal body health lies in living healthily and supporting it with the proper supplements. But how do you know if these supplements are the best for you? One of the most essential nutrients for our health is Vitamin C. Our bodies cannot produce this vitamin so we must either get it in the food that we eat or from Vitamin C supplements that are available in the market right now. And, since it is a water-soluble vitamin, this means that it is rapidly absorbed by the bloodstream and stored only for short periods of time, most of which are wasted and expelled by the body. This is why it is vital to find a Vitamin C supplement that not only provides the right amount of the nutrient needed, but can also extend its availability in the body one that has a time-release action which ensures that the vitamin is absorbed into the bloodstream at a slower rate, making sufficient amounts available to the body for a longer period of time. Cases in point are call center agents whose work schedules are most often at night. Their body clocks are constantly affected by the changes in their work shifts making their sleep patterns erratic, affecting their eating habits, and decreasing their resistance to sickness. But with daily intake of a Vitamin C supplement with time-release action, they can expect to have enough Vitamin C in their bodies throughout their entire shift, enabling them to have higher resistance against diseases, making them less prone to cough, colds and fever. It will also help them cope with the demands of their jobs and, therefore, greatly improve their quality of life. The benefits of Vitamin C are not exclusive to call center agents and the like, though. It is an essential part of everyone's life. Unfortunately, our bodies can neither manufacture nor store this vitamin; therefore, we must consciously provide this into our system through the food that we eat or the dietary supplements that we take. POTEN-CEE FORTE is a Vitamin C supplement that is 1,000mg and with an 8-hour time release formula. It dissolves slowly and releases Vitamin C over a period of up to eight hours to ensure that the body gets sufficient amounts of this essential vitamin throughout the day providing sustained protection against diseases. Taking Vitamin C daily is essential in keeping your body strong and healthy but don't just pick anything from the shelves of your local drug store; choose time-release Vitamin C supplements like Poten-cee Forte to make sure that your body gets what it needs at any time, all the time.

MOA of Rifampicin
Rifampin specifically inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase, the enzyme responsible for DNA transcription, by 9 forming a stable drug-enzyme complex with a binding constant of 10 M at 37 C. The corresponding mammalian enzymes are not affected by rifampin. Bacterial resistance to rifampin is caused by mutations leading to a change in the structure of the subunit of RNA polymerase. Such resistance is not an allornothing phenomenon; rather, a large number of RNA polymerases with various degrees of sensitivity to rifampin have been found. No strict correlation exists between enzyme sensitivity and MIC values, since inhibition of RNA synthesis does not always show up to the same extent in the two different test systems used for the determination of these values.
