The human body can do so many amazing things, but how does it do this?!

The human body can do so many amazing things, but how does it do this?

I would like to ask a question about food supplements (Evening Primrose Oil, Fish Oil, herbal/Vitamin, etc).

Apart from the obvious that it comes out in your number two when you go to the toilet, are there any other ways that the human body can rid itself of food supplements, vitamins and minerals? I am very interested to know how my body works in that department. I know that vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin so it comes out in your urine soon after consuming it, hence the reason why it's important for us to consume vitamin C regularly during the day. But, what about other things...like herbal supplements? How do they exist the body?

I guess what I really want to know is, how many ways can the human body evacuate vitamins and minerals from itself?

hrhviolette, are you serious? All those five features can really rid your body of so much, just like water? No way! I believe you, but, no way!

pandora078. Does that mean that every single time I go to the toilet and urinate, waste from old vitamins and supplements are coming out of me? It doesn't just come out with number two? Well, that's very good to know. I thought it was just old water that came out of me.

Osmosis, it passes through the cell membranes of our organs and tissue and finds ways out as our bodies eliminate waste. Urine, feces or even sweat. It's on a molecular level so if your body holds it limit it will eliminate the excess on its own. That is the remarkable thing about our bodies is it maintains itself. We just have to keep up the supplies it needs otherwise it uses up all the resources and soon ingests itself for those nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
