Vitamins are classified as either fat soluble (vitamins A, D, E and K) or water soluble (vitamins B and C). This difference between the two groups is very important. It determines how each vitamin acts within the body. The fat soluble vitamins are soluble in lipids (fats).
Water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, dissolve in water and cannot be stored by the body. Any water-soluble vitamins that your body doesnât need pass through your system and are lost in urine. Minerals are inorganic nutrients that come from the soil and water. Some minerals, such as calcium, are required in larger quantities than others, such as chromium and zinc.
