The fat -soluble vitamins , A, D,
E, and K, are stored in the
body for long periods of time
and generally pose a greater
risk for toxicity when consumed
in excess than water- soluble
vitamins . Eating a normal, well-
balanced diet will not lead to
toxicity in otherwise healthy
individuals.
water
soluble (vitamins B and C). ... These
vitamins are usually absorbed in fat
globules ( called chylomicrons) that
travel through the lymphatic system of
the small intestines and into the general
blood circulation within the body.
