DAILY VITAMIN AND MINERAL INTAKE CHART
The following table outlines the recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals, as set forth by the Food and Nutrition Board of the American Institute of Medicine (other countries have similar guidelines). The amounts listed are for healthy adults averaging 2,000 calories per day. Amounts vary for children, seniors, lactating or pregnant women, smokers, heavy alcohol drinkers, stressed or those requiring depression supplements, those with chronic diseases or those who consume less than 2,000 calories per day.
Every effort has been made to ensure that these figures are correct, but you should always check the correct amounts suitable for you with your Doctor or Healthcare Professional.
