Fat-Soluble Vitamins– athletes should reallyfocus on getting these nutrients from foods, as
this will reduce their chance of “overdosing” and the resulting toxicity. Dorfman maintains that
“supplementing with vitamins A, D,and K is not warranted” for vegetarian athletes (pg. 166). As
for vitamin E, the research does not give support either way. As with the other fat-soluble
vitamins, obtaining vitamin E from whole foodsis probably the best way to get them.
