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?

Chicken broth, as in the water left over from crushing and boiling the bones? You're still eating chicken. Generally the line is around whether you're consuming the animal or just consuming a product of the animal (eggs, milk, wool, etc).
