Essential substance in the diet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vitamin

(Other definitions for vitamin that I've seen before include "It is healthy to consume" , "Food constituent" , "C, perhaps" , "Substance aiding metabolism" , "Essential substance in food" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
