Rae
Rae - an arbitrary unit for measurement of the bioefficacy of ingested provitamin a carotenoids introduced by the u.S. Institute of medicine (iom). For a given amount of provitamin a compounds in a mixed diet, iom estimates that the number of retinol activity e (rae) is half the number of re suggested by fao/who. Rae is viewed as an approximate guideline because it was defined on the basis of relatively few studies and limited data on carotenoids bioavailability and bioconversion.
