I think it's a mistake to call it a "vitamin" - they are taken by a
Klingon-spy-disguised-as-a-human:

*"she would slip away to the lavatory and sneak a couple tuQloS pills to
help her body take some sustenance from the human food she was forced to
consume."*
It's part of her disquise, perhaps that's the "wear" part - she's wearing
another form. It lets her "wait" while wearing the false form?
Or maybe it's a silly pun on "wherefore."
