vitamins are divided into two classesFat-Soluble VitaminsFat-soluble vitamins include vitamin A, D, E and K. Because fat-soluble vitamins are stored for long periods, they are not needed every day in the diet. However, they are very necessary for important functions, such as blood clotting and calcium absorbency. If you are concerned about getting too much A, D, E or K, remember that relying on a healthy diet as your source of consuming vitamins can ensure healthy intake levels. Water-Soluble VitaminsWater-soluble vitamins are vitamin B1--thiamin, B2--riboflavin, B6, B12, C, folic acid and niacin. Many people worry about cooking out vitamins in vegetables. Often, those vitamins are the water-soluble type. They are easily destroyed through certain storage conditions and cooking techniques. These vitamins are found commonly in many foods, such as grains, meats, greens, legumes and beans. These vitamins are not stored within your body, so you need daily replenishment.
