What is vitamin T? | Daily Mail Online

There isn't actually a vitamin called vitamin T. Vitamins are defined as

essential nutritional substances that have to be provided by food because

they can't be manufactured by the body. Under this definition, A, the B

complex, C, and E all count as vitamins. Vitamins D and K only just sneak

into the definition because the skin can manufacture some vitamin D in the

presence of sunlight, and bacteria in the gut keep us supplied with at least

some of our vitamin K requirements.

Sometimes, other food substances are nicknamed as particular 'vitamins',

e.g. essential fatty acids are called vitamin 'F' and bioflavonoids are

called vitamin 'P'. But I can't find any definitive reference as to what

might be meant by vitamin T. One old publication does refer to something in

sesame seeds and egg yolks as vitamin T, saying it 're-establishes blood

coagulation and combats anaemia.' And I have also seen at least one American

product being sold on the internet claiming to contain the vitamin but

without explaining what it is.

The bottom line is that you may as well ignore anything you read about

vitamin T because it isn't a recognised substance nor is there any known

nutrient that answers its description.
