Table 2. Mean (± standard deviation) of areas (AUC’s) under the model-independent concentration curves of each of the 15 subjects for measures of serum levels of β-carotene and α-tocopherol, and plasma levels of vitamin C, zinc and copper and for each dosage form (Mean of the AUC’s).

Mean AUC, µmol/l*h Single Softgel
(1/2 full dose) 2 Softgels
(full dose) 4 Tablets
β-Carotene 12.9±11.9a 20.6±24.8 29.2±17.7a
α-Tocopherol 1274±708b 1827±1274 1894±741b
Ascorbic Acid 2266±1282 3169±1383 2799±1217
Zinc 746±155 730±216 726±200
Copper 534±177 608±348 602±263

The dosage forms with means of the areas sharing a common superscript are significantly different at p<0.05, repeated measures ANOVA using Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons.
