Morphology

high-vitamin + diet

The meaning 'a diet that contains increased levels of vitamins' is directly derivable from the constituents: 'high' (large/increased), 'vitamin' (nutrient), and 'diet' (a way of eating). This follows a common English compounding pattern (e.g. 'high-protein diet') and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the parts would readily understand it.

Etymology

High-vitamin diet comes from the simple idea of a diet that is high in vitamins, so it includes foods with extra vitamins. That's why it means 'a diet with more vitamins to help people who lack them'.
