Vitamins can be water-soluble vitamins or fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins include B-complex vitamins and folic acid, while fat-soluble vitamin include vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin D and vitamin A. As you can see, vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means that you need to have a small amount of fat in your diet so your body can absorb the vitamin and get all of its benefits. Some people have diseases that make them unable to digest or absorb fats properly which makes them susceptible to developing a deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins.
