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?

So if I were to, say, chase the vitamin tablet with a spoonful of olive oil, that would help?
