C) Retinol, Folic acid and Niacin
D) Calciferol, Biotin and Ascorbic acid​

Answer 1

Answer:

Water soluble vitamins are B-complex, vitamin C

Answer 2

The Correct solution is Option B, Thiamine, Pyridoxine and Biotin.

• B-complex vitamins and vitamin C( Ascorbic acid) are water-soluble vitamins that must be ingested on a daily basis because they are not stored in the body.
• During food storage and preparation(eg. on heating), these vitamins are easily damaged or washed away.
• Cereal grains, meat, poultry, eggs, fish, milk, legumes, and fresh vegetables all contain the B-complex group.
• Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits, peppers, strawberries, kiwis, and broccoli.
• It is not advisable to take mega-doses of multivitamins or supplements.
• The vitamin B-complex group includes thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), folate (folic acid), vitamin B12, biotin, and pantothenic acid, which are all water-soluble vitamins.
• Thiamin, often known as vitamin B1, aids in the release of energy from food, encourages a healthy appetite, and aids in muscular contraction and nerve signal transmission.
• Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, pyridoxal, or pyridoxamine, is an antioxidant that aids in protein metabolism and red blood cell production. It also plays a role in the creation of substances like neurotransmitters and haemoglobin in the body.
• Biotin (Vitamin H) aids in the metabolism of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates and helps release energy from carbohydrates.
• Fat-Soluble Vitamins are Vitamin A, D, E and K.
