    Folic acid is part of vitamin B complex. Lipid-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, K will be stored in the fat cells. But vitamin B and C are water-soluble vitamins that could not be stored. Only a number of the vitamin is used and the excess will be secreted, so there is no reason to have higher consumption.
