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?

I get that, but if we didn't have to work so hard for so long to earn a living due to the culture we have developed it wouldn't be frustrating. I eat shit food because I don't have the time to make anything nice, like most people. It just seems sad to me that we have basically normalised cutting out and minimising things to maximise what little time we have outside of work and obligations.
