Orthomolecular medicine[1][2] je forma komplementarne i alternativne medicine koja teži ka održavanju zdravlja, i sprečavanju ili tretiranju bolesti putem optimizacije nutricionog unosa i/ili propisivanja suplemenata.[3][4] Ovaj pristup se ponekad naziva megavitaminska terapija,[1][2] jer je ova praksa evoluirala iz, i u nekim slučajevima još uvek koristi, doze vitamina i minerala koje su mnogo veće od preporučenog referentnog dijetarnog unosa. Ortomolekularni praktikanti mogu da inkorporiraju varijetet drugih tretmantskih modaliteta u svoje pristupe, među kojima su dijetarna restrikcija, megadoze nevitaminskih nutrijenata, i regularni lekovi.[1][5] Proponenti ovog pristupa veruju da nivoi pojedinih supstanci koji nisu optimalni mogu da uzrokuju zdravstvene probleme dalekosežnije od jednostavne deficijencije, i vide njihovo balansiranje kao integralni deo zdravlja.[6]

Termin „ortomolekularan“ je skovao Lajnus Poling. On znači „pravi molekuli u pravim količinama“" (orto je grčki termin za "pravi").[7] Fokus ortomolekularne medicine je na upotrebi neophodnih nutricionih molekula u odgovarajućim količinama za datu osobu. Proponenti[8] tvrde da su tretmani bazirani na individualnim biohemijama pacijenata.[9]

Kritičari opisuju neke aspekte ortomolekularne medicine kao prehrambenu modu ili nadrilekarstvo.[10][11][12] Postoje rezultati istraživanja koji sugeriraju da su pojedini nutricioni suplementi štetni,[13][14][15] pri čemu je nekoliko specifičnih vitaminskih terapija vezano za povećani rizik razvoja kancera, srčane bolesti, i smrti.[16][17][18]
