Vitamins and supplements compose special molecules which are considered essential micronutrients for the sustainment of life. Essential nutrients are those which organisms cannot synthesise internally, and must therefore be obtained via the diet. The majority of vitamins are actually collections of molecules which are related and named vitamers. For example, vitamin E has eight vitamers, which are four tocotrienols and four tocopherols.

Vitamins have multiple biochemical tasks, which names mainly differ based on letters. Vitamin A is responsible for regulating the growth of tissue and cells, while vitamin D offers hormone functionality and will regulate the mineral metabolism in organs and bones. B vitamins are enzyme cofactors or their precursors, while vitamins E and C perform an antioxidant role. While daily vitamin intake is a necessity for maintaining one’s health, both excess and inadequate consumption can cause significant health problems.

Prior to 1935, vitamins could only be obtained through food, but afterwards companies started manufacturing tablets that contained vitamin B from yeast extract and vitamin C which was semi-synthetic. Mass produced supplements and multivitamins were introduced during the 1950s and became extremely popular as they could alleviate vitamin deficiency among the population.

Various governments around the world mandate vitamins and their inclusion in numerous foods, especially stables such as milk or flour, a process which is called food fortification. The majority of vitamins required by the human body were discovered from 1913 to 1948. It was also discovered that many vitamins were lost during the cooking process, whether it is frying, boiling or steaming. When vegetables are boiled vitamins C and B will actually dissolve inside the liquid, and if this liquid is discarded the vitamins will be lost, which is why some researchers recommend consuming the water.

Many countries have regulations which define the limits for mineral or vitamin dosage for dietary supplementation. The majority of vitamins which are sold for this purpose must not go above a specific daily maximum, which is officially referred to as the upper tolerable intake level. While there are vitamin products that go above such limits, they sometimes aren’t classified as supplements but rather prescription drugs.
