"How Vitamins Work?
"
There are two types of vitamins:
1)
Water soluble (Vitamin C, B
etc)
2)
Fat soluble (Vitamin K, A, D, E
etc)
When
a person takes
water- soluble
vitamins
it get
absorbed
in the body cells/tissues
in
small amounts and the rest in
eliminated
from the body in the
form
of urine. The body on a daily
basis
requires a continuous intake
of
water-soluble vitamins.
Fat-soluble vitamins get absorbed by the intestine
and the lymph system takes these vitamins to other parts of the body.
Synthesis of many enzymes is mainly done by these fat-soluble vitamins.
Our body can accumulate large amounts of fat-soluble vitamins. Excessive amount of fat-soluble vitamins in the body could lead to toxic levels.
