A '''provitamin''' is a substance that may be converted within the body to a [[vitamin]]. The term '''previtamin''' is a synonym.

The term "provitamin" is used when it is desirable to label a substance with little or no vitamin activity, but which can be converted to an active form by normal [[metabolism|metabolic]] processes.

==Example==
Some provitamins are:

* "Provitamin A" is a name for [[Beta-Carotene|β-carotene]],<ref name=pro/> which has only about 1/6 the [[biological activity]] of [[retinol]] ([[vitamin A]]); the body uses an [[enzyme]] to convert β-carotene to retinol. In other contexts, both β-carotene and retinol are simply considered to be different forms ([[vitamer]]s) of vitamin A.
* "Provitamin B5" is a name for [[panthenol]], which may be converted in the body to vitamin B5 ([[pantothenic acid]]).
* [[Menadione]] is a synthetic provitamin of [[vitamin K]].
* Provitamin [[vitamin D|D2]] is [[ergosterol]], and provitamin D3 is [[7-dehydrocholesterol]]. They are converted by UV light into vitamin D.<ref name=pro/> The human body produces provitamin D3 naturally; deficiency is usually caused by a lack of sun exposure, not a lack of the provitamin.
