Fat malabsorption: If you have a problem absorbing fats, you will have a problem absorbing fat soluble vitamins, A, D, E, K. Conversely, if you take too much of these, you could overdose on these vitamins as they build up in the fat. Unlike water soluble vitamins B and C, which are excreted in urine daily. Vitamins D toxicity can put your kidneys as risk. Be cautious with Vitamin D prescriptions.
