What does RDA stand for |
|
The EU has defined the Recommended
Daily Allowance (RDAs) for a range of nutrients at amounts which are
considered to be sufficient to prevent deficiency in most adult individuals
in the population. The EU has not set RDAs for some nutrients. These
do not necessarily represent the amount needed to maintain good health,
merely the amount needed to prevent the onset of deficiency problems.
