Vitamins are a class of essential nutrients that cannot be synthesized (either at all or in sufficient quantities) by a given animal organism and must be taken (in trace quantities) with food for that organism's continued good health.
Vitamins were first recognised by the diseases that occur from a lack of certain foods; for example, the British Royal Navy's observation that limes were effective in preventing scurvy led to the discovery of vitamin C.
