Stored (fatty tissue/liver) Doesn\u2019t need as regularly - weekly, monthly; because stored. Deficiencies slow to develop; because stored. Toxicities more likely; because stored (mostly from supplements) Precursors. Fecal excretion. Water-soluble vitamins. Found in watery parts of foods. After absorbed move directly into blood. Transported freely in blood. Not stored. Needed more regularly \u2013 every 1-3 days; because not stored. Deficiencies fast to develop; because not stored. Toxicities less likely (large amounts can overwhelm) Usually no precursors. Urine excretion. Fat soluble vitamins are typically found in the fats and oils of foods. Fat soluble vitamins are absorbed first into the lymph system and then into the blood. Many fat soluble vitamins require protein carriers. Fat soluble vitamins are stored in the body associated with fat. As a result although you need fat-soluble vitamins on a regular basis you usually don t need them on a daily basis. Because fat soluble vitamins are stored deficiencies are slow to develop. In addition, because fat soluble vitamins are stored, toxicities are more likely to occur. Toxicities are primarily due to excessive supplement intake not food intake. Because fat soluble vitamins are stored, many have precursor forms. Body levels of fat soluble vitamins are controlled through fecal excretion. Water soluble vitamins are found in the watery parts of foods. Water soluble vitamins are absorbed directly into the blood and travel freely in the blood. Water soluble vitamins are not stored in the body. Since water soluble vitamins are not stored you need them on a regular basis, every 1 to 3 days. Because water soluble vitamins are not stored deficiencies develop more rapidly. Toxicities of water soluble vitamins are less likely because water soluble vitamins are not stored; however toxicities can still occur from excessive supplement intake. Water soluble vitamins usually do not have a precursor form. Levels of water soluble vitamins are controlled by urinary excretion.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
