A vertical image shows a stock photo of archers with a series of black text boxes overlaid on it. The top text box, over a blurred background of greenery, reads: "In a study of 100 archery competitors, 50 of the top skilled archers were given a regular wooden bow to use in competition." The second text box, below the first, reads: "The 50 lowest skilled archers were given a wooden bow PLUS an extra coating of Vitamin C on the frame of the bow." The third text box is superimposed on an image of archers in a line, each holding a bow and aiming toward targets. The archers' faces are partially obscured, and the archer in the foreground is holding a wooden bow with a gloved hand. The text box reads: "This second group was told that they would receive more energy transdermally while gripping the bow coated in C." The fourth text box, at the bottom of the image, reads: "At the end of the event the second group performed far better than the first. This is known as the Plus C Bow Effect."
