Some Vital Facts about Vitamins

Vitamins
A, D, E & K are fat soluble vitamins and Vitamin B & C are water
soluble vitamins.
2.
The
fat soluble vitamins can be stored in the body
fat and can be utilised for the body metabolism
as and when required. Whereas the water soluble
vitamins B & C
can not be stored by the body for too long and
any excess
is excreted in the urine, hence we
need to take these vitamins (B & C)
on regularly.

case of jaundice or patients with gall stones, there
may be obstruction to the flow of bile from the
liver and this can lead to deficiency of Vitamin K.

present in various foods. There are
different types of carotenes available in the
