FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS
Fat-soluble vitamins bind to fat in the stomach and are then stored in the body for later use. Vitamins A, D, E & K are fat soluble. We are less likely to become deficient in these vitamins, but the body can build to toxic levels due to extreme overconsumption or overzealous supplement use.

— biotin, vitamin C, niacin, folic acid, pantothenic acid and the four B complex vitamins
— need to be restored more frequently, but the body can tolerate higher doses.
