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!
