What are fat soluble and water …

Fat soluble vitamins: the vitamins which are soluble in fats ...thus get stored in the body with the fat...(i.e. in the adipose tissue) eg is vitamin A, D, E, and K Water soluble vitamins: the vitamins which are not fat soluble but water soluble that is, they get dissolved in water and get removed from the body with the excess amount of water through the urine. Eg are Vitamin B complex( except B 12 ) and vitamin C There is one more difference between them i.e. since fat soluble vitamins are retained in the body, if we take them in excess then there will be bad consequences on health but if we take water soluble ones in excess it will not affect us since they are continuously removed from the body. This is also the reason why we need to regularly take vitamin B and C.
