what is the difrence between a water soluble and a fat soluable vitamin?

A water soluble vitamin is one that will dissolve in water. A fat soluble vitamin is one that is absorbed through fat. It's all in what kind of solution the vitamin will become part of. If a vitamin is water soluble, it will not accumulate in fat; if a vitamin is fat soluble, it will not dissolve in water.

Because water (H2O) is a polar substance... meaning that the molecules are balanced... positives and negatives.\nOil, on the other hand, is a non-polar substance.\n\nIf you follow the theory of "like dissolves like", a non-polar solute (oil) would NOT dissolve in a polar solvent (H2O).\n\nSo... they don't dissolve in each other... they just kind of sit on top of each other.\n\nI hope that made sense!

most vitamins are not dissolved in water.\nSince Vitamins C can be dissolved by water, you can take a lot.\nNo, is not unlimited.\nEverything you can have TOO MUCH.\n\nToo much water can kill you, because it lower the Na and K in you blood too much and your heart will stop.\n4 to 5 gallons of water within 2 days in too much.\n\nMost vitamins, such as A,B,D,E, etc. is not dissloved by water ,but by oil.  So they get stuck in your body longer.  So is easier to have too much of these vitamins.\n\nDont over do anything, it is a simple rule to live by.

If they are water solulable vitamins then you will just pee them out but if they are fat solulable then you could overdose on them.

I have heard the best multivitamins are the liquid kind. They digest more fully and you can absorb them easier. Also look for one with colloidal minerals which we do not get enough of from most of the foods we eat because of the leaching of the soil and chemical pesticides used on produce. I started taking them and noticed a diference almost imediately.

Yes.  Taking too much of anything can hurt your body.  There are two types of vitamins: water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins.  If the vitamin is water-soluble (e.g. vitamin C), it would take a lot of it to hurt your body, because it dissolves in water and will be excreted during urination.  However, if the vitamin is fat-soluble, it will be absorbed into your fat and remain in your body for a while.  Too much of a fat-soluble vitamin will be toxic.  That's why you should follow the "percentage of recommended daily intake" label on the side of the bottle.

Lipids are a class of hydrocarbon-containing organic compounds essential for the structure and function of living cells. Lipids are characterized by being water-insoluble and soluble in nonpolar organic solvents such as ether. Usually they are aliphatic but they can have rings in their structure. Although the word lipid is commonly used as a synonym to fat, the latter is a subgroup of triglyceride lipids.

Most solutes (sugar in this case) have limited solubility (ability to dissolve) in most solvents (water in this case). This solubility varies with temperature - the hotter the solution, the higher the solubility. As mentioned in an earlier answer, this means more energy must be added to dissolve more solute. On the other hand, if energy is taken out of a solution, the solute will usually  come out of the solution, depending on the concentration.\n\nThis physical law that governs this is the 2nd law of thermodyamics.

In addition to the individual vitamins, there are binders to give it its form and shape, and other additives to allow the vitamins to be properly absorbed by the body.\n\nFor instance, a tablet of 100 mg of niacin, which is vitamin B3, will have microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable stearic acid, vegetable cellulose and vegetable magnesium stearate. These ingredients aid in proper break down and absorption once the tablet enters your stomach.\n\nVitamin E often times finds itself in an oil base (since vitamin E can be derived from oils) and placed in a gelatin capsule.\n\nI assume you wanted to know what the pill form had inside, correct?\n\nExplaining the chemical composition of an individual vitamin, like vitamin C, for example, wouldn't mean anything to you, unless you were a chemist.

Oil only.  Lipids are very much insoluble in water, because water is a polar solvent while lipids are highly nonpolar.  The rule of thumb for solutions is "like dissolves like," so a nonpolar lipid will not dissolve in polar water.  Lipids are also insoluble in salt water, because the presence of other solutes in the solvent does not affect its solubility for other solutes.  But oil is a nonpolar solvent, and is in fact a lipid itself, so lipids will dissolve in it.

I thought this would be easier to answer than it was.  I did finally find it in a reference titled Cosmetics Additives - An Industrial Guide.\n\n\nIt states:\n\ndl-alpha tocopheryl acetate\n-insoluble in water.\n-freely soluble in alcohol.\n-miscible with acetone, ether, chloroform, vegetable oils, etc

Solute is anything tht is disolved in the liquid. If there was no solute, all you'd have is distilled water.

Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid or vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin whose derivatives such as NADH play essential roles in energy metabolism in the living cell and DNA repair. The designation vitamin B3 also includes the amide form, nicotinamide or niacinamide. Severe lack of niacin causes the deficiency disease pellagra, whereas a mild deficiency slows down the metabolism, which in turn decreases cold tolerance and is a potential contributing factor towards obesity.

Hydrolysis of an unsaturated fatty acid would cause saturation. Products would be saturated fatty acid and oxygen

if you eat more calories and do less work you will become fat. vitamins are not responsible for making us fat. calories makes us fat. calories are found in oil eatables, snacks,soda, all junk foods, etc

Vitamin C is a water soluable vitamin, whatever your body doesn't need it will get rid of it in your urine.
