Detailed explanation-1: -Certain vitamins-such as B and C-are water-soluble. If you take too much of them, your body simply flushes out the extra. Other vitamins-including A, D, E, and K-are fat-soluble. They aren’t good to consume in high doses because your body holds onto the excess.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fat-soluble vitamins-A, D, E, and K-dissolve in fat and are stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins-C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate)-dissolve in water. Your body can’t store these vitamins.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed along with fats in the diet and are stored in the body’s fatty tissue and in the liver. They are found in many plant and animal foods and in dietary supplements. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble.
