Vitamins and Minerals

 Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble (pronounced: SAHL-yuh-bul):

• The fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and are stored in your body.
• The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) — dissolve in water. Your body can't store these vitamins. Any B or C vitamins that your body doesn't use travels through the bloodstream and is lost (mostly when you pee). So you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day.

Vitamins are organic substances, which means they’re made by plants or animals. Minerals are inorganic elements that come from soil and water, and are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals.
