∙ 8y agoFat soluable vitamins are stored in the body when fat it stored. If you consume an excess of water soluable vitamins (like vitamin C), you just 'pee it out', as a nurse once told me. You can actually overdose on fat soluable vitamins, so don't pig-out on moose liver. (High in vitamin A)
The fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are stored in the body for long periods of time and generally pose a greater risk for toxicity when consumed in excess.

∙ 11y agoNo. Fat soluble vitamins are more toxic than water soluble vitamins. Water soluble vitamins in excess are excreted by kidney but large amount of fat soluble vitamins are stored in in fat. Vitamin D is the most toxic of all fat soluble vitamin.

∙ 14y agoNo. I think they have to be replaced every day, so they wouldn't be stored in a long term storage area like fat. I'm not sure of the reason exactly, but I know the answer is no.

What recommendation specifies the point at which a nutrient is likely to become toxic?
There is no such recommendation. There is what is called "LD50", which is the approximate dose that would cause death in 50% of the people who took that much, but nutrients are rarely evaluated like that for toxicity. Vitamins that can be overdosed on are the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). The rest of the vitamins have virtually no dangerous dose. For any vitamin, there is a label which shows recommended dose.
