Question

multiple choice question
we need to consume the water - soluble vitamins daily because:
our bodies need a daily supply because the water - soluble vitamins are perishable and only last for 24 - 36 hours.
our bodies store appreciable amounts of water - soluble vitamins making them unavailable.
with a few exceptions, they are not stored in the body to any significant extent.

Explanation:

Water - soluble vitamins like vitamin C and B - complex vitamins are not stored in the body in large amounts. They are excreted in urine, so we need a daily intake to meet our needs. The first option about perishability and 24 - 36 hour lifespan is not the main reason. The second option is incorrect as bodies do not store appreciable amounts. The third option is correct because water - soluble vitamins are not stored significantly in the body.

Answer:

with a few exceptions, they are not stored in the body to any significant extent.
