Question

What will be the total vitaminA content of diet supplying 50 microgram retinol and 2800 microgram carotene

Answer 1

Total vitamin A content = 50+(2800/4)

=>50+700

=>750 micrograms

Answer 2

One unit of Retinol is made in the human body from four units of carotene in the food intake.

Total Vitamin A content in terms of retinol is the sum of retinol content in the diet and the quarter part of the carotene (in micrograms).

Total Vitamin A = Retinol + Carotene/4

= 50 + 2800/4

= 50 +700

= 750

Total Vitamin A (in terms of retinol) in the diet supplied will be 750 micrograms.

Hope it helps. Thank You!
