✗ The myth everyone repeats
You can take unlimited amounts of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) because excess amounts are simply excreted.
✓ What is actually true
Fat-soluble vitamins accumulate in body fat and can reach toxic levels. Excessive vitamin A causes liver damage and birth defects; excess vitamin D causes hypercalcemia; excess vitamin E increases bleeding risk. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, the body cannot easily eliminate excess fat-soluble vitamins.
