Beta carotene Recommended Daily
There is no RDA for beta carotene. An intake of 6 mg beta carotene is needed in order to meet the vitamin A RDA of 1000 mcg RE. 1 RE is equivalent to 6 mcg beta carotene. Some experts recommend a daily intake of 10 to 30 mg.
The RDA for vitamin A for women who are breastfeeding increases from 800 mcg RE to 1300 mcg RE. This can be met by increasing the intake of beta carotene-rich foods.
