Detailed explanation-1: -The fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are stored in the body for long periods of time and generally pose a greater risk for toxicity than water-soluble vitamins when consumed in excess. Eating a normal, well-balanced diet will not lead to toxicity in otherwise healthy individuals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Okay, now, another high-yield fact for fat-soluble vitamins is that they can be stored in fat cells instead of getting excreted in the urine. And that is why their toxicity, also known as hypervitaminosis, is way more common than that of water-soluble vitamins.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fat-soluble vitamins, which are stored in the liver and fatty tissues of the body, are generally excreted much more slowly than water-soluble vitamins. Because they are stored for long periods, fat-soluble vitamins generally pose a greater risk of toxicity than water-soluble vitamins when consumed in excess.
