Hello,
The Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility -
- Fat Soluble Vitamins
- Water Soluble Vitamins
Water Soluble Vitamins are -
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B group [ Thiamin (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Niacin (Vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12]
Water Soluble vitamins should be supplied regularly in diet because they are readily excreted in urine and cannot be stored in our body.
Hope this was helpful.
