Question by redrukie: What are the best vitamins in terms of how much the body absorbs?
I’ve heard that most vitamins pass right through the body, without being absorbed. If I’m going to take vitamins, I want them to be effective by being absorbed as close to 100% as possible. Are there any studies that show which brand of vitamins the body absorbs most efficiently?
I don’t think I worded my question precisely. I didn’t mean vitamins from foods, I meant vitamin supplements. Sorry about that…

You heard wrong.

First, fruits and vegetables are your best sources of vitamins.

Vitamins are either water soluble (Vitamin C) or fat soluble (Vitamin E).

Water soluble vitamins are peed out, once the body gets what it needs.

Fat soluble vitamins are stored in the body.
