types of vitamins?

Answer 1

The term vitamin is derived from the words vital and amine. There are 13 official vitamins, and several "unofficial" vitamins that will someday be added to the official list. Vitamins work together with enzymes in chemical reactions that release energy from digested food and regulate billions of chemical activities that occur in the body every minute.

Water-soluble vitamins (B vitamins and vitamin C) are not stored so they must be taken into the body every day. Fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E, and K) can be stored in the body's fatty tissue and in the liver; hence the toxicity guidelines of megadosing should be observed.

Answer 2

There are two types of vitamins: fat soluble and water soluble. When you eat foods that contain fat-soluble vitamins, the vitamins are stored in the fat tissues in your body and in your liver. They go and wait around in your body fat until your body needs them.

Fat-soluble vitamins are happy to stay stored in your body for awhile - some stay for a few days, some for up to 6 months! Then, when it's time for them to be used, special carriers in your body take them to where they're needed. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are all fat-soluble vitamins.

Water-soluble vitamins are different. When you eat foods that have water-soluble vitamins, the vitamins don't get stored as much in your body. Instead, they travel through your bloodstream. And whatever your body doesn't use comes out when you urinate.

So these kinds of vitamins need to be replaced often because they don't like to stick around! This crowd of vitamins includes vitamin C and the big group of B vitamins - B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), niacin, B6 (pyridoxine), folic acid, B12 (cobalamine), biotin, and pantothenic acid.
