When we are exposed to sunlight, our body makes vitamin D, while vitamin K is produced by bacteria in our intestines. There are 11 other vitamins: A, 8 B vitamins, C and E. The B-complex vitamins and vitamin C are water-soluble vitamins that are not stored in the body. Our body only keeps a small amount of them and throws away the amount it does not need. Vitamins A, D, E, and K do not dissolve in water. Our body stores the unused amount of this vitamin in its fat and liver. Therefore, it is not good to have too many of them.
