Brain tumor research is a relatively modern science that parallels the explosion of molecular biology and modern neuroimaging. While the science is new, Mayo Clinic has a long history of brain cancer treatment and research stretching back over 100 years.
Vitamins come in two forms: water-soluble and fat-soluble. The water-soluble vitamins are vitamin C and the B-complex vitamins. If you take in more than your body can use of these, they end up passing through you as expensive urine. Vitamins A, D, E and K, on the other hand, require fat to dissolve. Your body stores these vitamins, and if you take too much, the amount in your body can build to a harmful level. Tolerable Upper Intake Levels The highest amount of a vitamin you can safely take per day is known as the tolerable upper intake level, or UL.
If you take too much of a fat-soluble vitamin, it could become toxic. Your body is especially sensitive to too much vitamin A from animal sources (retinol) and too much vitamin D. A balanced diet usually provides enough fat-soluble vitamins.he tables below list the vitamins, what they do in the body (their functions), and their sources in food.
