Answer : Vitamin A
Absorption of Vitamin A
Since it’s fat-soluble, vitamin A does not mix with water and must go through a different digestive process than water-soluble nutrients. Fats can’t be properly digested unless bile is present in the small intestine. Bile is made in your liver and stored in the gallbladder until partially digested food enters the small intestine and stimulates its release. Dietary fat -- and protein -- are the most potent stimulants, reports Colorado State University. Skim milk is a good source of protein, containing 8 grams in a cup, so it triggers bile secretion and vitamin A is digested and absorbed.
