Question

If Andy decides to change his 8 oz pork chop to 6 oz fillet of salmon, what would be his vitamin D dietary intake in IU? 6 oz of baked salmon contains 23 μ of vitamin

d.

Answer 1

The correct answer is 920IU of vitamin D.

International Unit (IU) is a unit of measurement used widely to quantify hormones, vitamins, blood products and several medications. It refers to the mass or volume of a substance but varies depending on the substance which is being measured and its biological activity.

Regarding Vitamin D, 1 microgram (μg) of vitamin D is equivalent to 40IU. Since 6 oz of baked salmon contains 23 μg of vitamin D, Andy's vitamin D intake will be 920IU (23 μg * 40IU = 920IU).
