Enzyme activators should be allosteric since they allow the substrate to bind to the enzyme for the reaction to occur.
Hence, in this case, enzyme activators can be considered as positive allosteric modulators.
When a small non-protein like vitamin is present along the enzyme, the catalytic activity is increased considerably as the vitamin acts as a co-enzyme which enhances the enzymatic activity.
