Table 3. Areas (AUC’s) under the model-independent single concentration curve obtained by averaging over all 15 subjects for each sampling time, for each micronutrient and dosage form (AUC’s of the Mean).

AUC of Means, µmol/l*h Single Softgel
(1/2 full dose) 2 Softgels
(full dose) 4 Tablets
β-Carotene 13.2 20.7 30.4
α-Tocopherol 1289 1834 2035
Ascorbic Acid 2308 3180 2509
Zinc 749 730 726
Copper 539 609 603

The average percent discrepancy between the Mean of the AUC’s and the AUC’s of the Mean is 1.3% with the largest percentage discrepancy 7%, that for dl-α-tocopheryl acetate. The mean concentrations at each time point, corrected with the improved baseline described in the text, are provided in Appendix 3, Appendix 4, and Appendix 5.
