Highlight two major different between fat soluble and water soluble vitamins?

1. Absorption: Fat soluble vitamins are absorbed along with dietary fats in the small intestine and are stored in the body's fat tissues, whereas water soluble vitamins are absorbed directly into the bloodstream and are not stored in the body, leading to a higher risk of deficiency if not consumed regularly.

2. Excretion: Fat soluble vitamins are excreted through the feces, which means they have the potential to build up to toxic levels in the body if consumed in excess, whereas water soluble vitamins are excreted through the urine, making it difficult to reach toxic levels as any excess is eliminated from the body.

1. Solubility:
- Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are soluble in fats and oils. They can be stored in the body's fat tissues.
- Water-soluble vitamins (B complex, C) are not soluble in fats and oils. They dissolve in water and cannot be stored in the body's fat tissues.

2. Absorption and Excretion:
- Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed with dietary fats and require bile acids for proper absorption. They can be stored in the body for extended periods.
- Water-soluble vitamins are absorbed through the stomach and intestines. Excess water-soluble vitamins are excreted in the urine, so they need to be consumed regularly.
