What are the 2 types of vitamins ? Give examples of vitamins

Dear student,
Please find below the answer:

The two types of vitamins are fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins.

a) Fat-soluble vitamins: They include vitamins A, D, E and K. They are stored in the fat tissue of our body and are used when needed by the body. Our body can synthesise vitamin D in the presence of sunlight.
b) Water-soluble vitamins: Vitamin B complex (vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and folic acid) and vitamin C are water-soluble vitamins. These are not stored in the body and are needed to be regularly supplied by consuming food items such as spinach, green vegetables and citrus fruits.

Hope this clears your doubt.
Regards.
