vitamin-free
Explanation:
without fat
fat-free

"Following the success of Rob’s "vitamin free, calorie-and-cholesterol-packed, very tasty and totally scrumptious hyper–space filling Trangia pizza" (Cambridge Mountaineering 1983), here is a recipe for Welsh Cakes a la Trangia – just the thing to turn a wet campsite in the Lakes into a gourmets paradise. One word of caution though; make sure the campsite is deserted before you commence as the delicious smell is enough to attract fellow campers to your tent like climbers to cafes."

lacking vitamins


Explanation:
Generalmente no se usa la construccion '-less' con palabras de mas de dos silabas, por la cacofonia. Vitamin-free seria un poco ironico, porque la falta de vitaminas no se percibe como una ventaja.
