water-soluble and fat-soluble. Water-soluble vitamins, which include all of the B vitamins, are easily absorbed into the body. If you consume more of a water-soluble vitamin than you need, the excess will be excreted, not stored.
Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed in the small intestines. Once in the body, they are stored primarily in the liver and in fatty (adipose) tissues. The fat-soluble vitamins include A, D, E, and K.

Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water, which means these vitamins and nutrients dissolve quickly in the body. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins are carried to the body's tissues, but the body cannot store them. Any excess amounts of water-soluble vitamins simply pass through the body.
