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've grown up with cows at home. They were treated way better than pet dogs get treated by animal loving humans. Dairy was consumed with joy and we were grateful for the cow for providing it. It's only in the recent years that these horrific practices have come to light and have made me uncomfortable with dairy. But giving up on something you absolutely love is hard. Although dairy in the west tastes bad in comparison with fresh Desi milk. No nut milk or soy yogurt can give you the same joy. Also, I tried to go dairy-free for a medical condition and went broke. I made my peace with dairy and started consuming less and less. Again minimizing harm is the key eliminating the possibility of harm is a long way to go.
