Elmer McCollum and Marguerite Davis identified Vitamin A in 1913. See Wikipedia article on Elmer McCollum for details. 216.222.180.142 (talk) 20:12, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should this phrase be changed to “essential to an animal”? Are vitamins relevant to non-animal organisms (other than e.g. plants being a source of vitamins for animals)? There is no mention of any non-animal organisms in the article. Averixus (talk) 08:08, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vitamin J redirected to Choline until I just now changed it to redirect to the obsolete name chart at Vitamin#Naming. That chart lists Catechol and Flavin for Vitamin J, but not choline. Should choline be added, or was that simply a long-standing error? I’m having trouble separating reliable web sources from AI slop. One reliable source I could find was [1]. It just says “Finally, vitamin J: Beneficial to guinea pigs but unneeded by people, it didn’t make the cut.” and does say which compound that refers to. I couldn’t find anything about guinea pigs on the three compound articles. — Beland (talk) 20:49, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article refers to “Title 21, part III” when it intends to refer to part “111” – the section of the Code of Federal Regulations relating to current Good Manufacturing Practice for dietary supplements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2025-34015-53 (talk) 17:04, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The goal of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026 campaign is to bring all 101 top-importance articles—including this one—up to at least B-class quality. Many of these articles are widely read but overdue for review, so even small improvements can have a big impact.

If you watch or edit this article, your help would be very welcome. You can:

1. Add yourself as a participant
2. Note the state of the article in the Progress table (is the current class still correct?)
3. Update the article based on recent clinical guidelines and review papers
4. Help address gaps, improve clarity for a broad audience, or improve image selection

To reach B class, articles should have: suitable referencing, reasonable coverage, a clear structure, good prose, helpful illustrations, and be understandable to a broad audience. Contributions of any size are appreciated. Femke (talk) 16:00, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
