Vitamins are classified into two categories;

Water-soluble vitamins:- The water-soluble vitamins are vitamin C and all the B vitamins, which include thiamine(via B1),

riboflavin(via B2), niacin(via B5), pantothenic acid(via B5), pyridoxine(vit B6), biotin(vit B7), folate(vit B9), and cobalamins(vit B12). 

Fat-soluble vitamins:-The fat-soluble vitamins are vit A(retinol), Vit D (cholecalciferol D3 & ergocalciferol D2), vit E(tocopherols & tocotrienols), and it K(phylloquinone & menaquinone). These vitamins are better absorbed into your bloodstream when you eat them with fat but a higher amount can cause toxicity in the body.

It is better to get all your micronutrients from the foods you eat rather than getting it from supplements. Supplements contain only specific nutrients that are listed on the label, but foods contain many more macronutrients, micronutrients, and other chemicals, like antioxidants that benefit health. It is not that your body needs all the vitamins and minerals in a huge amount for your body which is available in the supplement because certain vitamins can cause toxicity due to a higher amount.
