At the intersection of land and sea, mangrove forests support a wealth of life, from starfish to people, and may be more important to the health of the planet than we ever realized. By Kennedy Warne. Photograph by Tim Laman. Mangroves live life on the edge. With one foot on land and one in the sea, these botanical amphibians occupy a zone of desiccating heat, choking mud, and salt levels that would kill an ordinary plant within hours. Yet the forests mangroves form are among the most productive and biologically complex ecosystems on Earth.
Vitamin is a general biochemical term, like a mineral, nutrient, drug and such, so no reason for upper case. Letters A, B.. in particular vitamins: vitamin A, vitamin B...are usually capitalized in medical literature but, I guess, this is not a grammatical rule. They are brand names that have to be capitalized.It's like vitamin C as a substance should not be capitalized but all words in a brand name of a product such as Chewable Vitamin C or Vicks Vitamin C Drops should be capitalized.itamin is a general biochemical term, like a mineral, nutrient, drug and such, so no reason for upper case.

Doctor's Answer: Vitamins are classified as either fat soluble (vitamins A, D, E and K) or water soluble (vitamins B and C). This difference between the two groups is very important. It determines how each vitamin acts within the body. The fat soluble vitamins are soluble in lipids (fats). These vitamins are usually absorbed in fat globules (called chylomicrons) that travel through the lymphatic system of the small intestines and into the general blood circulation within the body. These fat soluble vitamins, especially vitamins A and E, are then stored in body tissues.
