More Information
Vitamins are essential organic compounds that are categorized based on their solubility. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are absorbed along with fats in the diet and can be stored in the body's fatty tissue. Water-soluble vitamins (B-complex and C) dissolve in water and are not stored in the body in significant amounts.
