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: -Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body’s liver, fatty tissue, and muscles. The four fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins are absorbed more easily by the body in the presence of dietary fat. Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E and K. These are stored in the body for various amounts of time. Many people who are properly nourished have a three-month supply of vitamin D stored in the body.
