The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began phasing into effect new labeling requirements on January 1st, 1997. These requirements are now official. One of the changes that has caused a bit of confusion is the switch from Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) to Recommended Daily Intake (RDI). In addition, Vitamin and Mineral listings on the labels are now followed by Percentage of Daily Value (%DV).
The following list shows vitamin and minerals with their RDI's.
Recommended Daily Intake (RDI):
- Vitamin A 5,000 IU*
- Biotin 300 mcg.
- Vitamin C 6O mg.
- Pantothenic acid 10mg.
- Calcium 1000 mg.
- Phosphorus 1000 mg.
- Iron 18 mg.
- Iodine 150 mcg.
- Vitamin D 400 IU
- Magnesium 400 mg.
- Vitamin E 30 IU
- Zinc 15 mg.
- Vitamin K 80 mcg.
- Selenium 70 mcg.
- Thiamin 1.5 mg.
- Copper 2.0 mg.
- Riboflavin 1.7 mg.
- Manganese 2.0 mg.
- Niacin 20 mg.
- Chromium 120 mcg.
- Vitamin B6 2.0 mg.
- Molybdenum 75 mcg.
- Folate (Folic Acid) 400 mcg
- Chloride 3,400 mg.
- Vitamin B12 6 mcg.
IU = International Units
mcg = micrograms
mg = milligrams
*Vitamin A is also measured in RE's. One RE equals 3.33 International Units (IU) of retinol (active vitamin A) equals 10 IU's of beta-carotene.
Remember, a bodybuilder/athlete/strength trainer's requirements are higher than the average persons.
