What is the difference between water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins in terms of their absorption and storage in the body?
Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water and are easily absorbed by the body, but they are not stored in large amounts and are excreted through urine. Fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in fat and are absorbed with dietary fat, stored in the body's fatty tissues, and can accumulate to toxic levels if consumed in excess.
Is Calcium fat soluble or water soluble?
Calcium is water soluble, but not fat soluble. It is the fifth most dissolved ion in seawater. On the other hand, fat is soluble into calcium in the body. The calcium will extract the fat from food in the digestive system, and they combine to form a foamy substance which is not absorbed by the body, and so the fat will be flushed out.

How does the absorption of a water-soluble molecule differ from that of a fat-soluble molecule?
Water-soluble molecules are absorbed through passive diffusion or facilitated transport in the intestines, while fat-soluble molecules are absorbed with the help of bile salts and form micelles for absorption through simple diffusion in the small intestine. No specific transporters are needed for fat-soluble molecules due to their ability to pass through the cell membrane easily, unlike water-soluble molecules which require specific transporters for absorption.

Do vitamin supplements always get absored?
No, they are not. In order for water soluble vitamins (such as B, C...) to be absorbed best, take with water, for fat soluble vitamins (E,D...) take with fat. You don't need much of either fat or water to absorb. For instance, butter on toast is fine for fat and enough water to swallow your vitamins is good for the water soluble. B-12 is a vitamin that, in some people, who lack a particular enzyme, cannot be absorbed by the stomach and they are the ones who need to get B-12 by injection.
