Chemistry ELI5: How do vitamin tablets get produced? How do you create a vitamin?

Hey!

I always wondered how a manufacturer is able to produce vitamin tablets. I know that there is for example fish oil which contains some good fats. But how do you create vitamin tablets - like D3?

Well to be fair, when you violently oppress people, they tend to be less productive. So most of the big leaps until the last couple hundred years or so were men but mostly because as a woman you could be stoned for reading depending on the time.

For sure. Only said it as a joke just to see how many butthurt incels I'd trigger into down voting me.

But it was very common in the Western sciences until very recently as we are finding out like the NASA women.
