What is Multiple Vitamins? A vitamin is a nutrient that is an organic compound required in tiny amounts for essential metabolic reactions in a living organism. Most vitamins must be obtained from the diet. Dietary supplements, containing vitamins, may ensure that adequate amounts are obtained, and may also contain minerals.
