  • Liquid Paraffin and Vitamin Absorption: Understanding the Facts
    Liquid paraffin, also known as mineral oil, does not absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K. In fact, it can actually interfere with the absorption of these fat-soluble vitamins.

    Here's why:

    * Liquid paraffin is not a fat. It's a hydrocarbon mixture, and it doesn't have the chemical structure to bind to or absorb fat-soluble vitamins.

    * Liquid paraffin prevents fat absorption. It coats the lining of the intestines, preventing the body from properly absorbing fats and the fat-soluble vitamins that are carried in them.

    Therefore, taking liquid paraffin can lead to deficiencies in vitamins A, D, E, and K.

    Important note: Consult a healthcare professional before taking liquid paraffin or any other medication. They can advise you on the potential risks and benefits and ensure it's safe for you.
