Fat-soluble vitamins will not be lost when the foods that contain them are cooked.

Most people do not need vitamin supplements.
Megadoses of vitamins A, D, E or K can be toxic and lead to health problems.
Requirements for vitamins may be expressed in different mathematical units. Close attention should be paid to ensure that similar units are being compared.
What are Vitamins?
Vitamins are essential micronutrients required by the body in small amounts to support a range of vital functions. Vitamins are divided into two groups: water-soluble (B-complex vitamins and C
vitamins) and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K). Unlike water-soluble vitamins that need regular replacement in the body, fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and fatty tissues, and are
eliminated much more slowly than water-soluble vitamins. For more information on water-soluble vitamins, see fact sheet 9.312 Water-Soluble Vitamins: Vitamin B-Complex and Vitamin C.
What are Fat-Soluble Vitamins?
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 than water-soluble vitamins when consumed in excess. Eating a normal, well-balanced diet will not lead to toxicity in otherwise healthy individuals. However, taking vitamin supplements that contain megadoses of vitamins A, D, E and K may lead to toxicity.
