Polish biochemist Casimir Funk invented the term vitamins and its discovered around the late 1800 and popularized in the 1920s. He identified that vitamins are essential to maintain healthy growth and for all body functions.

The concept of vitamins was not invented by any one person. It was the result of extensive research and experimentation by many scientists over time, including James Lind, Christian Eijkman, and Casimir Funk. The term "vitamin" was coined by Polish biochemist Casimir Funk in 1912.

Vitamins are naturally occurring organic compounds that are essential for the proper functioning of the human body, and they were not "invented" by any one individual. The term "vitamin" was coined by Polish biochemist Casimir Funk in 1912. Funk used the word "vitamine" to describe a group of organic compounds that were vital for health, and he later isolated and identified thiamine (Vitamin B1).

The discovery of various vitamins was the result of research by numerous scientists over many years. Each vitamin has its own unique history and was identified by different researchers. For example, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) was identified by several scientists, including Albert Szent-Györgyi and Norman Haworth. Similarly, the B-complex vitamins were discovered by various scientists, as mentioned in a previous response.

Vitamins are essential for health, and understanding their roles and sources has been a collaborative effort in the field of nutrition and biochemistry.
