Vitamins

 Vitamins are organic substances present in minute amounts in natural foodstuffs. Having too little of any particular vitamin may increase the risk of developing certain health issues.

A vitamin is an organic compound, which means that it contains carbon. It is also an essential nutrient that the body may need to get from food.

Vitamins are either soluble, or dissolvable, in fat or water. We describe both types below:

Fat-soluble vitamins

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble. The body storesTrusted Source fat-soluble vitamins in fatty tissue and the liver, and reserves of these vitamins can stay in the body for days and sometimes months.

Dietary fats help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins through the intestinal tract.

Water-soluble vitamins

Water-soluble vitamins do not stayTrusted Source in the body for long and cannot be stored. They leave the body via the urine. Because of this, people need a more regular supply of water-soluble vitamins than fat-soluble ones.

Vitamin C and all the B vitamins are water-soluble.
