Vitamins for good health

Vitamins are organic substances that are generally classified as either fat soluble or water soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K) dissolve in fat and tend to accumulate in the body. Water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C and B vitamins such as vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folate) must dissolve in water before they can be absorbed by the body and therefore cannot be stored. Any water-soluble vitamins that are not used by the body are lost mainly through the urine.
