TYPES OF VITAMINS -

Vitamins fall into two categories :-

1. fat soluble
   
2. water soluble

The fat soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body.

The water soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) need to dissolve in water before your body can absorb them.

Because of this, your body can’t store these vitamins. Any vitamin C or B that your body doesn’t use as it passes through your system is lost (mostly when you pee). So you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day.
