Water soluble
• Cannot be stored in body - regular supply needed
• Excess is excreted in urine - no danger of toxic levels
• Unstable to heat and light, leach into cooking liquids
Fat Soluble
• Can be stored in body - regular supply not needed
• Can accumulate to toxic levels if large amounts ingested
• Fairly stable at normal cooking temperatures

• Hypervitaminosis A - Excess Vitamin A is stored in the liver. In extreme cases can cause dry skin, enlarged liver, fatigue, hair loss, headaches, appetite loss, vomiting, risk of birth defects and miscarriage.
• Hypervitaminosis D - More common in young children than adults. Results in high concentration of calcium in blood. Symptoms - nausea, mental confusion, vomiting and thirst.

Hand in Hand – How vitamins help each
other• Vitamin E keeps Vitamin A from being
destroyed in the intestines
• Vitamin D enables the body to absorb calcium and phosphorous
• Vitamin C helps folate build proteins
• Vitamin B1 works in the digestive system with niacin, pantothenic acid and magnesium
