Detailed explanation-1: -The water-soluble vitamins include Vitamin C and Vitamin B complex (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, folate, and cobalamin).
Detailed explanation-2: -Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9, water-soluble and naturally found in many foods. It is also added to foods and sold as a supplement in the form of folic acid; this form is actually better absorbed than that from food sources-85% vs. 50%, respectively.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates, or carbs, are sugar molecules. Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of three main nutrients found in foods and drinks. Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body’s cells, tissues, and organs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thiamine (B1) Thiamine, one of the water-soluble vitamins, is especially important in glucose metabolism. It acts as a cofactor for enzymes that break down glucose for energy production (Figure 6.3. 1).
