Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body to a great extent, and any excess intake is excreted in the urine. This is in contrast to fat-soluble vitamins, which are stored in the body and can become toxic if consumed in excess. Water-soluble vitamins are not highly protein bound and are usually metabolized in various tissues throughout the body, not just the liver.
