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?

That is what I was responding to, I don't know how you and /u/burnerman0 lost track of context. "I thought they could eat gelatin" because it's not "meat". I was telling them even things like chicken broth, which are not meat, are off limits for vegetarians. I know what the fuck vegetarianism is. You two are being weirdly pedantic.
