Vitamin c is stored in our body but for a shorter period.The excess amount id removed in urine. The reason vitamin C isn't stored well is because your body can't make it, and vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin. Our bodies are created in such a way that we are unable to store excess water-soluble vitamins.

The reason vitamin C isn't stored well is because your body can't make it, and vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin. This means it dissolves in water, and what your body doesn't use right away is excreted through urine. In contrast, fat soluble vitamins dissolve in fat, and excess intakes of these vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K) are stored in fat tissue and the liver for future use.
