A patient consumes one serving a product containing 10% DV for vitmain A. Calculate her intake of vitamin A in g. Round to the nearest whole number. Vitamin A DV = 5000 IU 1 g = 3.33 IU Female RDA = 700 g

Solution

Ans. Intake of vitamin A = 10 % of daily value (DV)

                                                = 10% of 5000 IU                    ; [DV = 5000 IU]

                                                = 500 IU

                                                = (500 / 3.33) µg                     ; [1 IU = 1/3.33 µg ]

                                                = 150.15 µg

                                                = 150 µg         [Rounded up to nearest whole number]
