Water soluble vitamins are excreted out of our body through urination. Identify the vitamin which is stored in our body for a number of years?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Vitamin B12
The B group vitamins and vitamin C are water soluble. They are readily excreted in urine and cannot be stored, so they must be supplied regularly in the diet. The one exception is vitamin B12, which is stored in the liver and can last for several years.
