Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Water-soluble vitamins are present in the watery components of the foods one consumes. They are absorbed directly into the bloodstream as food is dissociated by the process of digestion or as a supplement dissolves. As much of the body comprises water, the majority of the water-soluble vitamins circulate easily in the body via blood.
