                                As a water-soluble nutrient, Vitamin B12 is fundamentally different from fat-soluble vitamins in how the body processes it. While many focus on the risks of deficiency, a common question is: **Does your body excrete excess vitamin B12**? Unlike vitamins A, D, E, and K, the body is designed to efficiently remove unused B12, making an overdose from food or typical supplements exceptionally rare.
