  1. Water soluble Vitamins By Sarah and Claudia

  2. Information • Water soluble vitamins are vitamins that our bodies do not store. These vitamins dissolve in water when they are ingested, then go in to the blood stream. The body keeps what it needs at that time, and excess amounts are excreted in the urine. Since they can’t be stored, everybody needs a continuous supply of water soluble vitamins in order to stay healthy. There are a total of nine water-soluble vitamins.

  3. The 9 Water-Soluble Vitamins: • Folate • Thiamine • Riboflavin • Niacin • Pantothenic Acid • Biotin • Vitamin B6 • Vitamin B12 • Vitamin C

  4. Quick Facts • B-complex vitamins and vitamin C are water-soluble vitamins that are not stored in the body and must be replaced each day. • These vitamins are easily destroyed or washed out during food storage and preparation. • The B-complex group is found in a variety of foods: cereal grains, meat, poultry, eggs, fish, milk, legumes and fresh vegetables. • Citrus fruits are good sources of vitamin C. • Using megadoses of multivitamins or supplements is not recommended.
