the body absorbs/uses the amount of vitamin it needs; the remainder is filtered through the kidneys & excreted in the urine.
Some fat substitutes can prevent absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Water soluble vitamins are excreted primarily through urine. After being absorbed in the intestines and used by the body, any excess water soluble vitamins not needed are filtered by the kidneys and eliminated in urine.

No, Centrum vitamins are primarily fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, which require fat for absorption in the body. Water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C and the B vitamins are not the main components of Centrum vitamins.
Fat. These vitamins are fat soluble, and are stored in the body to be used as need. The other type of vitamins are water soluble, B-complex and C vitamins.

Vitamins are classified into two main categories: water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins include the B-complex vitamins and vitamin C, which dissolve in water and are not stored in the body. Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are stored in the body's fatty tissues and liver. This classification helps in understanding their absorption and storage in the body.
Excess water-soluble vitamins are excreted via the urine. These vitamins, such as Vitamin C and B-complex vitamins, are not stored in the body to the same extent as fat-soluble vitamins, so any excess amounts are typically eliminated through the kidneys.
Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's fat tissues, while water-soluble vitamins are excreted in urine when in excess since the body does not store them. This is because fat-soluble vitamins can be stored in fat cells and released when needed, while water-soluble vitamins are readily excreted when the body has enough.
Vitamins A,E,D and K are fat - soluble (able to dissolve in fats). They are absorbed into the intestinal tract with the help of fat, and tend to be stored in the body longer than water-soluble vitamins (B and C). Because of that longer storage period, you are more likely to suffer ill-effects from taking too much of one of the fat-soluble vitamins.
