Notes

International Units (IU)

Many biological agents exist in different forms or preparations (e.g. vitamin A in the form of retinol or beta-carotene). The goal of the IU is to be able to compare these, so that different forms or preparations with the same biological effect will contain the same number of IUs.

Questions

• Is there a reason for the listed order of vitamins and minerals?
• Proper weight representation?
• IU calcualtions
• When is cronic over/under exposure a problem?
• Natural sources vs supplements?
