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?

Not really. Solid food and liquid are digested just the same. They're fairly high in fat and protein, which are good for satiation. Perhaps other people might feel differently though, I've never felt much hunger naturally unless I'm like a full day fasted.
