Etymology
Orthomolecular comes from the Greek parts ortho- meaning 'correct' or 'straight' and molecular from molecule, a 'tiny part' of matter. So orthomolecular medicine is about bringing the body's molecules and substances to the 'correct' levels, which is why it focuses on vitamins and minerals.
