Vitamin C Popular:
Vegetables, fruit and fruit juice which contain vitamin C are in demand in Beijing as local people attach greater importance to health to fight SARS. Shanghai Roche has arranged for workers to work in shifts to produce enough Redoxon to meet rising consumer demand. 100,000 boxes of Redoxon have been delivered to China from Argentina. Other vitamin supplements such as Centrum and Gold Theragran are also sold out.
