Vitamin D (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B9 (folic acid)
This vitamin is easily broken down during the cooking process so care must be taken during food preparation. Also, because it's water soluble, the body can hold on to only small quantities. Since it is constantly being lost during food preparation and via the urine stream, it is important to continually resupply Folic Acid.
Like the other B-vitamins, Vitamin B9 plays a role in the body's ability to metabolize fats, proteins and carbohydrates so they can be converted into energy. But Folic acid benefits the body in many other ways, too.
