Types of Vitamins

First I must mention that there are two types of vitamin, they are water-soluble vitamin and fat-soluble vitamins.

Water-soluble means the vitamins dissolves in water and the body takes most of the vitamins that the body needs and the excess vitamins are eliminated through urine, sweats or bowel movement. Which means that these vitamins cannot be overdosed since they are easily eliminated from the body.

Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed in fat globules (called chylomicrons) they are stored in the vitamin in body for longer period of time. So it continuously works in the body before it becomes depleted. That is why taking fat-soluble vitamins should not be taken in high doses.
