Q&A: How long do vitamins stay in our bodies?

How long do vitamins stay in our bodies?
I’ve read that vitamin B12 stays in our bodies for months. Are there other vitamins that I wouldn’t need to consume daily?
Thanks.

Usually our body gets enough of most vitamins through foods,fruits and sunshine. So in a healthy state there is no need to take vitamins as meds. But sometimes like during menstruation period,pregnancy,infancy,etc there is a need for complementary vitamin. Fat-soluble vitamins like vit A and vit E remain longer in the body than water-soluble vit B or vit C. As group B vitamins are water-soluble, they usually will not be stored in the body for a long time. Anyway, for women Calcium-D tablets and multivitamin tablets seem to be adequate should there would be no ill-health.
