Water-Soluble Vitamins:
* Storage: Water-soluble vitamins are generally not stored in significant amounts by the body. This is because they dissolve in water and are easily excreted in urine.
* Examples: Vitamin C, B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12)
Fat-Soluble Vitamins:
* Storage: Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's fatty tissues, liver, and muscle for longer periods.
* Examples: Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K
Important Considerations:
* Excess: While fat-soluble vitamins can be stored, excessive intake can lead to toxicity.
* Regular Intake: Both types of vitamins need regular intake through diet or supplements to ensure adequate levels.
