Mineral Oil and Vitamin A Absorption

  • Direct Interference: Mineral oil is a non-digestible petroleum-derived hydrocarbon that acts as a powerful solvent for fat-soluble vitamins, including Vitamin A.
  • Inhibition of Absorption: When mineral oil is present in the digestive tract simultaneously with fat-soluble vitamins or food sources containing them, it dissolves the vitamins.
  • Fecal Loss: Because mineral oil cannot be absorbed by the human intestinal tract, it passes through the body completely, carrying the dissolved Vitamin A along with it and resulting in its excretion through the feces.
  • Nutritional Deficiency Risk: Regular or prolonged consumption of mineral oil—especially when taken with meals or shortly before/after eating—can lead to significant deficiencies of Vitamin A and other fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins D, E, and K.
