    GlossaryFat-Soluble Vitamins

    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.
