fat-soluble vitamins

Fat-soluble vitamins—A, D, E, and K—are nutrients that dissolve in fats and oils, allowing your body to store them in your liver and fat tissues for later use. They are absorbed through the digestive system alongside dietary fats and are essential for various functions like vision, immune health, bone strength, and blood clotting. Because they are stored in the body, they don’t need to be consumed daily, but excess intake can build up and cause health problems. A balanced diet typically provides adequate amounts of these vitamins.
