Hello,

The Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility -

  1. Fat Soluble Vitamins
  2. 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.
