It's the difference between a vitamin and a pain-killer.

You want to make pain-killers, because people need them.

Vitamins can be helpful. But people don't usually need them.

I would have put money on this example being structured the other way around. People can live with pain; they can't live without vitamins. They only don't need vitamins in the same sense that people don't need oxygen.

Pretty sure that the post you're responding to meant "vitamin supplements."
