A vitamin is an organic compound and an essential nutrient, or micronutrient, that an organism needs in small amounts. An organic chemical compound (or related set ofcompounds) is called a vitamin when the organism cannot make the compound itself, (either at all, or in sufficient quantities) and it must be obtained through the diet. Different organisms have different vitamin needs. For example, vitamin C is needed in the diet by humans and other primates, but not by many other animals. Vitamin Dis a needed micronutrient when its normal synthesis inthe skin by sunlight is impaired by the lack of exposure to the sun.
