Megavitamins

This was a term first used to describe large doses of vitamin C by Dr I. Stone. It has no useful meaning and should not be used.

Optimum daily intake

Each nutrient is needed in optimum amounts. The range of requirement varies enormously for different vitamins. This also applies to amino acids, fatty acids and sugars.

Orthomolecular

This refers to the use of substances which are naturally present in the body. It does not include compounds found in plants which may be safe and effective as treatment but which the body can live without.
