Does the Body Store Fat Soluble Vitamins?

Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed along with fats in the diet and are stored in the body's fatty tissue and in the liver.

Are fat-soluble vitamins stored well in the body?

Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's cells and are not excreted as easily as water-soluble vitamins. They do not need to be consumed as often as water-soluble vitamins, although adequate amounts are needed. If you take too much of a fat-soluble vitamin, it could become toxic.

Does the body store soluble vitamins?

The fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and are stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) — dissolve in water. Your body can't store these vitamins.
