One of the vitamins stored in muscle tissue is vitamin B-6, a group of three related compounds generally referred to as pyridoxine. Vitamin B-6 helps your muscle tissue access energy by breaking glycogen into glucose molecules, which can then be used to make chemical fuel for your muscles. Vitamin B-6 also helps your body synthesize hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen to your brain, muscles and other tissues. Your body stores vitamin B-6 exclusively in your skeletal muscle, and your kidneys secrete excess levels of the vitamin from your body via your urine.

Another vitamin stored in your muscle tissue is vitamin D, also called calcitriol. Unlike pyridoxine -- stored exclusively in skeletal muscle -- your body stores vitamin D within your liver and fatty tissue, as well as in your muscles. Vitamin D serves as a hormone that regulates healthy cell and tissue development. It also interacts with your parathyroid gland -- a hormone-producing gland -- to help regulate the levels of calcium in your body and maintain healthy bones.
