    dissolve in fats and are stored in body tissues

    Fat-soluble vitamins are nutrients that dissolve in fats and oils and are stored in the body's fatty tissues and liver. These vitamins, which include A, D, E, and K, are essential for various bodily functions such as vision, bone health, antioxidant activity, and blood clotting. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, they are not excreted as easily and can accumulate in the body, potentially leading to toxicity if consumed in excessive amounts.

      research An Investigation Into the Effects of Water- and Fat-Soluble Vitamins in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases

      10 citations , July 2023 in “The Neuroscience Journal of Shefaye Khatam”
      The study investigates the impact of water- and fat-soluble vitamins on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. It highlights that certain vitamins, such as vitamin E (a fat-soluble vitamin) and vitamin C (a water-soluble vitamin), may have neuroprotective effects that could slow the progression of these neurodegenerative diseases. The research suggests that these vitamins can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, which are key factors in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. However, the study emphasizes the need for further clinical trials to establish definitive conclusions, as current evidence is primarily based on observational studies and small-scale trials.
