What is "orthomolecular" ?

"Ortho" is a Greek word that means "right".
"Molecular" refers to the smallest unit that is not an element, to the smallest compound.

So, "orthomolecular" refers to a "right molecule".

How is a orthomolecular substance created?  How do molecules become "right"?

By providing the body with the optimal substances it needs for health, the body takes those substances and uses them to help create "right molecules".

Linus Pauling coined the term "orthomolecular"
