Fat- soluble vitamins are more bioavailable than water- soluble vitamins.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are stored in the body's fatty tissue and liver, and their excess can lead to toxicity. Water-soluble vitamins (C and all B vitamins) are not stored in the body and excess amounts are excreted in urine, making them less likely to reach toxic levels but also meaning they need to be consumed more regularly. Bioavailability refers to the degree and rate at which a substance is absorbed into a living system or is made available at the site of physiological activity. The statement about bioavailability does not accurately compare fat-soluble to water-soluble vitamins, as their absorption and storage mechanisms differ significantly, and bioavailability can be influenced by many factors beyond solubility.
