Types of vitamins

Vitamins work by converting food into energy, regulating the chemical reactions necessary for life.

There are two different types of vitamins.

Fat soluble: 
Vitamin A (retinol), Vitamin D (calciferol), Vitamin E (tocopherol) and Vitamin K (antihemorrhagic). These vitamins dissolve in fats and oils; they are stored in the liver and in the fatty tissue. If consumed in excess, they can cause toxicity.

Water soluble:
Vitamin C and the Vitamin B Complex: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12. These vitamins dissolve in water and are not stored in the body, so they must be administered regularly and we can only go without them for a few days.
