Do eggs contain retinol?

Published in Egg Nutrition 1 min read

Yes, eggs contain retinol.

According to USDA data and research on Malawian eggs, eggs are a source of retinol, also known as Vitamin A. A standard commercial egg (50g) from the USDA contains an estimated 75 μg of retinol activity equivalent (RAE), which provides approximately 25% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for children aged 1-3 years. Similarly, a 52g commercial egg from Malawi contains 79 μg RAE, offering 26% of the RDA for the same age group [14, 15].

In short, eggs contribute significantly to retinol intake.
