Recommended Vitamin Mineral Intake
The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) has been used as a guide by Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council (NRC) to determine the quantity of vitamins needed for a healthy diet. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is an estimate of the average daily requirement of vitamins. It is not completely adequate, however, for informing people about the amounts of vitamins they may need.
Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) is a new standard. The DRI is based on the following ratings:
• The recommended daily allowance (RDA). This is the current rating on most vitamins.
• The estimated average requirement (EAR). This is the amount adequate for 50% of all people, which will be put on labels when it can be calculated.
• Adequate intake (AI). This is an amount that will be used if there is insufficient data to calculate the EAR.
