Àmínìamálalókun'''Àmínìamáralókun''' (fítámínì {{Àdàkọ:IPAc-en|UK|ˈ|v|ɪ|t|əm|ɪ|n}}) is an organic compound and a vital nutrient that an [[Ẹlẹ́ẹ̀mín|organism]] requires in limited amounts.<ref name="Lieberman">Lieberman, S and Bruning, N (1990). </ref> An organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when the organism cannot synthesize the compound in sufficient quantities, and must be obtained through the diet; thus, the term "vitamin" is conditional upon the circumstances and the particular organism. For example, ascorbic acid (one form of vitamin C) is a vitamin for humans, but not for most other animal organisms. Supplementation is important for the treatment of certain health problems, but there is little evidence of nutritional benefit when used by otherwise healthy people.<ref name="Fort2013">{{cite journal|last = Fortmann|first = SP|author2 = Burda, BU|author3 = Senger, CA|author4 = Lin, JS|author5 = Whitlock, EP|title = Vitamin and Mineral Supplements in the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer: An Updated Systematic Evidence Review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force|journal = Annals of internal medicine|date = 12 Nov 2013|pmid = 24217421|doi = 10.7326/0003-4819-159-12-201312170-00729|volume = 159|issue = 12|pages = 824–34}}</ref>
