Yes, vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin.
Fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D, E, and K, share the characteristic of dissolving in organic solvents and being absorbed and transported similarly to fats within the body. This means that vitamin A, unlike water-soluble vitamins, is absorbed alongside dietary fats in the small intestine and then transported via the lymphatic system before entering the bloodstream. Any excess vitamin A is stored in the liver and fatty tissues, which means it can accumulate in the body over time. Because of this storage capability, it's possible to consume too much vitamin A, leading to hypervitaminosis A, a condition caused by vitamin toxicity. Consuming a balanced diet usually provides sufficient vitamin A without needing to supplement.
