Vitamins are divided into 2 categories: water-soluble and fat-soluble.
The water-soluble vitamins consist of eight B vitamins: B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin), as well as vitamin C (2Trusted Source).
Vitamins A, D, E, and K are considered fat-soluble vitamins.
Water-soluble vitamins are not readily stored in your body and need to be supplied continuously through your diet. On the other hand, fat-soluble vitamins are stored in your body’s tissues and retained for longer periods (3Trusted Source).
Depending on their age and health status, women and teens have differing daily vitamin needs.
