Fat-soluble vitamins are found mainly in fatty foods and animal products, such as vegetable oils, milk and dairy foods, eggs, liver, oily fish and butter.

 

While your body needs these vitamins every day to work properly, you don't need to eat foods containing them every day.

This is because your body stores these vitamins in your liver and fatty tissues for future use. These stores can build up so they are there when you need them. However, if you have much more than you need, fat-soluble vitamins can be harmful.

Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body, so you need to have them more frequently.

 

If you have more than you need, your body gets rid of the extra vitamins when you urinate. As the body does not store water-soluble vitamins, these vitamins are generally not harmful. However, this doesn't mean that all large amounts are necessarily harmless.

 

Water-soluble vitamins are found in a wide range of foods, including fruit, vegetables, potatoes, grains, milk and dairy foods. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins, they can be destroyed by heat or being exposed to the air.

 

Some Water Soluble vitamins can also be lost in the water used for cooking.Cooking foods, especially by boiling, we lose some of these vitamins.

There are a bewildering range of vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements available. Sadly the full details and much relevant information about benefits to health of many of the products has been impossible to give on the packaging (mainly for legal reasons, they say that it could be construed as a health claim)

 

This new guide is almost jargon-free and has been written by a leading expert, Dr Sarah Brewer.  In its pages she spells out everything you need to know about the main supplements, and gives her advice on which are suitable for specific health problems.

 

The guide includes an A–Z guide to 150 supplements which should help everyone achieve a brighter and healthier life. The guide explains the benefits and any possible known side effects. The Guide also states the research evidence which backs up the claims regarding their efficacy.

 

Dr Brewer's guide recommends supplements for common problems such as chronic fatigue, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, recurrent candida and arthritis. It comes packed with clear and concise answers, and explains how the use of supplements can improve your daily health.
