Love this …
Our bodies are amazing 🙏
Your body is running dozens of supply chains at once… and you never notice.
Some nutrients get stored for the long haul.
Some get used immediately.
Some get locked away in specific tissues so they’re ready the moment you need them.
And all of it happens silently, every hour of every day
This chart shows:
• Water-soluble vitamins that rarely stay in one place
• Fat-soluble vitamins that tuck themselves into liver and fat stores
• Major minerals that keep cells functioning
• Trace minerals that your body guards with surprising precision
If you’ve ever wondered why some deficiencies show up fast, while others take months or years to appear, this is why. Different nutrients follow completely different storage rules.
Here are a few details hidden in the diagram:
🔹 Vitamin B12 is stored mostly in your liver, enough to last years, which is why deficiency creeps up slowly.
🔹 Vitamin C, B1, and B2 don’t store well at all, your body uses them immediately, so daily intake matters.
🔹 Vitamin D and Vitamin A hide in fat and liver tissue, creating long-term reserves your body draws from seasonally.
🔹 Iron, zinc, copper, and selenium are tucked into bone marrow, organs, enzymes, and immune cells, ready for rapid deployment.
🔹 Electrolytes like potassium, sodium, chloride, and magnesium sit in fluids inside and outside cells, controlling everything from heartbeat to muscle contraction.
🔹 Iodine concentrates in the thyroid, because regulating metabolism can’t wait.
Most people never see how all these storage pathways interconnect, but once you do, nutrition stops being random, it becomes strategic.
If you want a single picture that explains why diet, absorption, stress, illness, and supplementation affect people so differently… this is it.
