Fat-soluble vitamins balance each other.

Vitamins A, D, and K are fat-soluble partners that influence each other: vitamin D and A share receptor machinery and can blunt each other's toxicity, while K2 directs the calcium that vitamin D helps absorb, so balance among them matters more than loading any one.

What to do

Modest doses together are reasonable and reflect how these vitamins occur in foods like liver, egg yolk, and dairy. Avoid high-dose vitamin A in pregnancy, where excess is harmful, and take the group with a fat-containing meal for absorption.
