Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamins A, D, E, and K are called the fat-soluble vitamins, because they are soluble in organic solvents and are absorbed and transported in a manner similar to that of fats.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because vitamin K is fat-soluble, it is best to eat vitamin K foods with some fat to improve absorption.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that depends on the gut’s ability to absorb dietary fat. People who are obese tend to have lower blood vitamin D levels. Vitamin D accumulates in excess fat tissues but is not easily available for use by the body when needed.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are four fat-soluble vitamins, which include Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and Vitamin K. Fat-soluble vitamins are found in high-fat food sources like egg yolks, liver, beef, fatty fish, and dairy products. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, any excess of fat-soluble vitamins don’t immediately leave the body.
