I want to talk to you about fat-soluble vitamins vs. water-soluble vitamins. When should you take them, and what is the difference?

Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in your fat cells and in your liver. Water-soluble vitamins are not stored—if you consume too much, your body will get rid of what you don’t need.

Fat soluble vitamins include:

• Vitamin A

• Vitamin D

• Vitamin E

• Vitamin K1

• Vitamin K2

These vitamins are able to penetrate the fat layer of your cells and go deeper. They can even affect your DNA and mitochondria. Water-soluble vitamins are not capable of this.

Water soluble vitamins include:

• B vitamins

• Vitamin C

You want to take fat-soluble vitamins along with fatty foods. So it’s best to have fat-soluble vitamins with food. They are absorbed far better this way.

You can take water-soluble vitamins any time—you don’t need fat to help with absorption.

Fat-soluble vitamins are toxic in large amounts. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins are stored, and excess amounts cannot be released through the urine.

Keep in mind that you should be taking water-soluble vitamins while you fast since your body doesn’t store them very well.
