Isn't vit A the one we produce from carotenes? So technically we don't need to ingest the vitamin itself if we eat enough of the pro-vitamin? Am I confusing it with other vitamin?
Carotene is 10% absorption rate from my example (IIRC 30% from juice), but you still need to dissolve it in fat to get vitamin A.
Thank you!
