Question - Answer
 Conclusion
• Fat-soluble vitamins: A, D, E, and K — are stored in the body for
long periods of time, and pose a greater risk for toxicity than
water-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins are only needed in
small amounts.
• Beta carotene is an important antioxidant that the body converts
to Vitamin A, and it is found in a variety of fruits and vegetables.
• Inadequate dietary consumption of vitamin D, along with limited
sun exposure, makes vitamin D deficiency a growing public health
concern.
• Vitamin E benefits the body by acting as an antioxidant, and
research indicates that it may offer a protective effect if obtained
through a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, as opposed to a
supplement or multivitamin.
• The bacteria in our gut produce vitamin K, and it is also found in
green leafy vegetables.
