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: -They are found in many plant and animal foods and in dietary supplements. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble.
Detailed explanation-3: -While water-soluble vitamins are quickly absorbed with the excess being released, fat-soluble vitamins are slower to dissolve, and the excess is stored in the liver.
