Fat Soluble Vitamins

The fat soluble vitamins are A, D, E, F and K. They are supplied to us in fats and oils, which are then absorbed in the digestive tract and transported around the body mainly in the lymphatic vessels. They can be stored in the body, so they do not need to be supplied on a daily basis. They are usually measured in International Units or IUs, which is a quality based measurement. For example, 4500mcg of beta carotene, the vegetable form of vitamin A, is equivalent in potency to 2250mcg of vitamin A oil, from fish liver. Both equal 7,500lU of vitamin A. The standards against which lUs are set are as follows:

1 IU of vitamin E= 1mg of alpha tocopherol (E)
1 IU of vitamin A= 0.6mg of beta carotene (A)
1 IU of vitamin D= 0.025 mg of pure vitamin (D)
