How to read this table
How is Vitamin A declared on the label?
Vitamin A labels declare either IU or mcg RAE. This page converts IU figures at 1 IU = 0.3mcg RAE (the retinol basis), so 10,000 IU becomes 3,000mcg RAE. Whatever the declared unit, everything is unified onto the mcg axis for comparison.
How much does Vitamin A pricing vary between products?
Price per mcg ranges from a low of $0.000006/mcg to a median of $0.000788/mcg. The median is 122× the lowest, so the cost of the same 1mcg of Vitamin A spreads over a hundredfold across products. That means the per-unit gap between products near the top and the middle of the ranking is that large.
Price per mcg is computed for 1,965 of the 2,274 listed (86%). The rest, missing a sale price or amount, are placed at the bottom of the ranking and excluded from the statistics above.
The Vitamin A amount per serving ranges from 0.6mcg to 15,000mcg, with a median of 900mcg. The maximum is only 17× the median, so most products cluster near the median, and the price-per-mcg ranking reflects price differences more than amount gaps.
The products in this list come from 382 brands, and the sort order is determined solely by price per mcg.
What are the limits of this Vitamin A comparison?
Beta-carotene converts to RAE on a different factor than retinol at the same IU, but this page converts every declared figure on the retinol basis. The mcg amount for a beta-carotene-based product therefore comes out larger than its actual RAE, and its price per mcg can look correspondingly cheaper.
