Bane in the DC Comics series is the only super-villain to have broken Batman's back in a fight. Bane became a test subject for a mysterious drug known as "Venom," which had killed the other test subjects and he was the only one who survived.

The human body needs fatty acids and it can make all but two of them: linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid) and linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid). Given linolenic acid, the body can make the 20- and 22-carbon members of the omega-3 series, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These omega-3 fatty acids are absolutely critical for normal growth and development and they play a very important role in the prevention and treatment of diseases.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, an important structural component of tendons, ligaments and so on. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine (noradrenaline). In addition, vitamin C is required for the synthesis of carnitine, a small moleculeessential for the transport of fatty acids to cellular organelles called mitochondria (powerhouses of cell), for conversion to energy.
