Animal fats carry bioavailable fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K2.

These are called fat-soluble vitamins because they are soluble in organic solvents and are absorbed and transported in a manner similar to that of fats.

The retinoid version of vitamin A is only found in animal sources such as liver, butter, whole milk, and egg yolks. ^[21]
