"Life is manifested through electrical forces, and its vibrations are positive and negative - in the atoms and cells of the body - is built by hereditary influences, by the effects of vitamins."   (ECRL 444-2) Life 道 is manifested through electrical forces 電力, and its vibrations 常道 are positive and negative 正負 『正反』、此兩者，同出而異名 —  in the atoms and cells of the body —  life is built: by hereditary influences, by the effects of vitamins 維生素.

Vitamin 1920, originally vitamine (1912), from Latin vīta (“life”) (see vital) + amine (see amino acids). Vitamine coined by Polish biochemist Casimir Funk after the initial discovery of aberic acid (thiamine) when it was thought that all such nutrients would be amines.[1] The term had become ubiquitous by the time it was discovered that vitamin C, among others, had no amine component. In 1920, British biochemist Jack Drummond proposed that the final -e be dropped to deemphasize the amine reference. The ending -in was acceptable because it was used for neutral substances of undefined composition. Drummond also introduced the lettering system of nomenclature (Vitamin A, B, C, etc.) at this same time.
