Unlike water-soluble vitamins, these vitamins dissolve in fat and are stored in body tissues. Because they are stored, over time they can accumulate to dangerous levels and can lead to a condition called hypervitaminosis, meaning excess amounts of a vitamin in the body, if more than the recommended amount is taken.
Vitamins are an important part of food and are absorbed through the small intestine. Vitamins are grouped based on how your body absorbs them. Water-soluble B-complex and C vitamins dissolve in water prior to absorption. Fat-soluble vitamins -- A, D, E and K -- dissolve in fat to be absorbed and stored for later use. Water-soluble vitamins are not easily stored and surplus amounts are excreted in your urine. Fat-soluble vitamins require bile acids for absorption and are stored in the liver and fatty tissue of the body.
