Note: Do not tilt your head back. This may cause blood to run down the back of your throat, and you may swallow it. Use your thumb and forefinger to firmly pinch the soft part of your nose shut. The nose consists of a hard, bony part and a softer part made of cartilage.
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).
Most of them dissolve in water and are called water-soluble vitamins. In contrast, there are only four fat-soluble vitamins, which dissolve in oil (liquid fat). Nine water-soluble vitamins are found in the human diet: Vitamin B1 (thiamine) Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) Vitamin B3 (niacin) Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) Vitamin B6; Vitamin B7 (biotin) Vitamin B9
