Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed with dietary fat and stored in adipose tissue and in the liver. This vitamin is found in many animal and plant foods or supplements. Water-soluble vitamins are easily absorbed into tissues for immediate use. Because they are not stored in the body, water-soluble vitamins need to be regularly added to the daily diet.
Some vitamins are fat and oil soluble, others are water soluble. Vitamins are classified as fat-soluble including vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K, or water-soluble vitamins including vitamin B and vitamin C. This distinction between the two groups is important. This classification determines how each vitamin works in the body.
1.Fat Soluble Vitamins These fat soluble vitamins are absorbed in fat globules (called chylomicrons) that move through the lymphatic system of the small intestine into the general blood circulation system. in the body. These fat-soluble vitamins, especially vitamin A and vitamin E, are then stored in body tissues.
Fat-soluble vitamins, once stored in body tissues, tend to stay there. This means that if a person takes in too many fat-soluble vitamins, over time they can have too much of that vitamin in their body, a dangerous condition known as hypervitaminosis (literally too much of it). vitamins in the body).
People can also be deficient in fat-soluble vitamins if their fat intake is too low or if fat absorption is compromised, such as due to certain medications (which interfere with the absorption of fat from the intestines). ) or from certain diseases such as cystic fibrosis (in which a deficiency of enzymes from the pancreas interferes with the absorption of fat from the intestines).
1.1 The role of fat-soluble vitamins: Vitamin A: Strengthens vision, immunity, bone growth and the production of new cells. Vitamin D: found in sunlight. This vitamin helps support heart health, blood sugar levels, healthy aging, immunity, and strong bones. This vitamin also plays an important role in helping the body absorb calcium. Vitamin E: An antioxidant that supports the immune system, helps improve blood circulation, protects against cell damage, and promotes tissue healing. Vitamin K: Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin well known for its ability to clot blood and is absolutely essential for building strong bones and heart health. Vitamin K is abundant in spinach, soybeans and eggs, but it is difficult for the body to absorb.

2. Water-soluble vitamins Water-soluble vitamins are water-soluble, which means these vitamins and nutrients are absorbed quickly in the body. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins are carried to the body's tissues, but the body cannot store them. Any excess water-soluble vitamins will pass through the body. Our bodies need these vitamins, so you need to make sure you get enough of these vitamins on a regular basis. Water-soluble vitamins include Vitamin C and B vitamins: thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), Vitamin B6, biotin (vitamin B7), folic acid (vitamin B5). vitamin B9), Vitamin B12. Vitamin A in Beta-Carotene form is also water soluble.
Role of water soluble vitamins:
Vitamin C : well known as a powerful antioxidant known for strengthening the immune system by fighting off colds and other infectious diseases. Vitamin C helps promote heart and eye health, while preventing wrinkles and other signs of skin aging.
THIAMINE HCL (Vitamin B1) : The body needs B1 to convert food into energy and for DNA and RNA to work together. It plays a role in maintaining healthy heart function and nervous system. RIBOFLAVIN (Vitamin B2): The “yellow” vitamin B that can be used to color foods is essential for the creation of red blood cells and cell growth. It promotes healthy muscle, nerve, and heart function as well as affects several enzyme functions. NIACIN (Vitamin B3): Necessary to convert food into energy, Niacin helps maintain heart health. Promotes a healthy nervous system, as well as skin, hair and eyes. PANTOTHENIC ACID (Vitamin B5) : Vitamin B5 supports metabolism and helps convert food into energy. Supports overall growth and development, supports the adrenal glands and is important in the production of hemoglobin. Vitamin B6 (PYRIDOXINE): This B vitamin supports healthy brain function and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Supports the production of serotonin, which helps maintain the health of the nervous system, immune system and red blood cells. BIOTIN: Biotin also known as Vitamin B7, promotes healthy skin, hair and nails. It is needed for protein and carbohydrate metabolism, and it also regulates blood sugar levels. FOLIC ACID (Vitamin B9) : Vitamin B9 is an essential substance in the development of a healthy central nervous system in the embryo. Ongoing, it supports nervous system function, repairs DNA damaged by toxins, and aids in the production of blood cells. Vitamin B12: This powerful B vitamin, which the body does not produce, plays a role in nerve development and function. It helps keep blood cells healthy and produces DNA. This vitamin may also aid in the prevention of certain types of anemia. That's the exception for water-soluble vitamins, which can be stored in your liver.
