any vitamins that are soluble in fats or fat solvents. These vitamins are absorbed by the body from the intestinal tract and follow the same path of absorption as fat and any condition interfering with the absorption of fats would result in poor absorption of these vitamins as well.
Vitamins which dissolve in fats rather than water. They can be stored in the body for longer than water soluble vitamins (A,D,E & K are fat soluble).
Vitamins A, D, E, and K only dissolve in fat tissues and the liver, and thus stay in the body longer than water-soluble vitamins.
A, D, E, and K vitamins that the body can store
Vitamins that dissolve in liquid fat or fatty oils, in addition to water. They include Vitamin A, D, E and K.
Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble. That is, they dissolve in liquid fat or fatty oils, and not in water alone. They are usually obtained from fatty foodstuffs and more fat may be required for their effective transportation into the bloodstream via the digestive tract through absorption.
Vitamins can be classified into two groups: water-soluble and fat-soluble. Water-soluble vitamins must be taken into the body daily as they can't be stored and are excreted within one to four days. Fat-soluble vitamins can be stored for longer periods of time in the body's fatty tissue and liver. The fat-soluble vitamins include Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Vitamin K.
