                                Your body naturally produces certain organic compounds, but during periods of physiological stress or disease, this internal production can become inadequate. It is under these specific circumstances that a conditional vitamin or nutrient becomes essential, requiring additional dietary or supplemental intake to meet the body's heightened demands.
