Fat soluble vitamins are not as quickly eliminated from the body, but rather are stored in fat tissues and in various organs throughout the body. The regulation of the body levels of these vitamins is therefore not as precise as for the water soluble vitamins and long term consumption at levels above those required can mean the build up of toxic levels of fat soluble vitamins in the body. Toxic symptoms have been recorded but for some fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin E and vitamin K it has been difficult to establish the effects of chronic (long term) consumption levels.

∙ 14y agoWhen too much of any vitamin or mineral is absorbed in to the body it is called a toxicity. If too much vitamin A is absorbed the toxicity symptoms are bone defects such as weakened bones or osteoporosis that can cause fractures and birth defects. Birth defects are less common but vitamin A supplements are not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy. If there is a chronic vitamin A toxicity it can cause liver abnormalities. Acute toxicity symptoms include blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, headaches, and pressure in the skull. The maximum amount of vitamin A that can be absorbed before symptoms may appear, or Upper Level, for adults is 3000 μg (micrograms) per day.
