Question

Look up the structures of Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. No need to draw their structures. Which ones are largely water soluble and which are largely fat soluble? Explain your reasoning in each case.

Explanation / Answer

Vitamin B6>Vitamin C > Vitamin A> Vitamin E The two types of vitamins are classified by the materials in which they will dissolve. Fat-soluble vitamins -- vitamins A, D, E and K -- dissolve in fat before they are absorbed in the blood stream to carry out their functions. Excesses of these vitamins are stored in the liver. Because they are stored, they are not needed every day in the diet.
