B6 is pyridoxine. Folic acid, biotin and pantothenic are some examples. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored within the liver and in fatty tissue. You can find vitamin D, E K, A and beta carotene as examples.

Vitamins are classified according to their biological activity. There are eight major groups of vitamins:

  • A – Essential for normal growth, and the maintenance of good health.
