which vitamins are stored by the body
Although you get vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat every day, some foods have more vitamins and minerals than others. Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins â A, D, E, and K â dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins â C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) â need to dissolve in water before your body can absorb them. Because of this, your body can't store these vitamins.
