Vitamins are classified as either water-soluble or fat-soluble. In humans there are 13 vitamins: 4 fat-soluble (A, D, E, and K) and 9 water-soluble (8 B vitamins and vitamin C). Water-soluble vitamins dissolve easily in water and, in general, are readily excreted from the body, to the degree that urinary output is a strong predictor of vitamin consumption. Because they are not readily stored, consistent daily intake is important. Many types of water-soluble vitamins are synthesized by bacteria.

They remain active because vitamins are a certain set of compounds that the body converts to what it needs once ingested.

If you care about being healthy do yourself a favour and don't drink Vitamin Water at all. It has almost as much sugar in it as coca cola (and is made by them too).

Drink tap water and get your vitamins from eating fresh fruit and vegtables. If you really feel the need to take vitamin supplements buy soem from a pharmacy.
