A member asked:
How much vitamin a is in 100 grams of carrots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NONE!!! however...: Pre-formed Vitamin A is only found in foods of animal origin. However, carrots are rich in beta carotene, which our bodies readily convert to Vitamin A as needed. 100 grams of raw carrots contain 8,285 mcg of beta carotene and we only need 1,800 mcg of beta carotene a day to maintain healthy levels of Vitamin A.
