Vitamin A ⓔfood.essential ⓘValues are presented in RAE: retinol activity equivalent. Provitamin A carotenoids have a lower bioavailability than retinol. In order to take into account these differences, RAE have been introduced and defined as 1 mcg RAE = 1 mcg retinol = 12 mcg β-carotene = 24 mcg α-carotene = 24 mcg β-cryptoxanthin. The RAE for dietary provitamin A carotenoids is two-fold greater than retinol equivalents (REs), whereas the RAE for preformed vitamin A is the same as RE. 14.55 mcg
