What are the lipid soluble and water soluble Vitamins?

Answer 1

Vitamin C and B complex are both water soluble (ie hydrophilic), which is why a daily dose is recommended. Your body only uses what it needs in a day, and any excess in your body will be dissolved in water and excreted (this is why your urine is very yellow after taking a B complex, it's the excess B2 - riboflavin that is naturally yellow.)

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are all fat soluble (ie hydrophobic). The excess which is not used is stored in adipose tissue (fat cells) until needed. This is where people started saying you'll turn orange if you eat too many carrots: carrots contain beta-carotene which the body turns into vitamin A with bile salts.

So it is possible to get too much of the A, D, E, and K (though none are toxic at high levels except vit D - so watch out), but it is silly to take tablets with large amounts of vitamins B and C because you'll just excrete it!

Answer 2

You have vitamin C, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, biotin, patothenic acid, folic acid, cynocobalamin etc as water soluble vitamins. You have vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin K and vitamin e as fat soluble vitamins.

Answer 3

The lipid soluble vitamins are such as A, D, E, and K.

The water soluble vitamins cannot be stored by the body in significant amounts for extended periods.

Answer 4

fat soluble vitamins are A, D, E and K. water soluble vitamins are B-complex and C.

Answer 5

The vitamins A, D, E, and K are lipid [both fat and oil] soluble.

Answer 6

All B complex vitamins and vitamin C are water soluble and vitamin A, D, E and K are fat soluble vitamins.
