General

RDA stands for Recommended Daily Allowance. This is the daily amount of a vitamin or mineral that the average healthy person needs to prevent deficiency.

The %RDA tells you how much of a nutrient's RDA you get from each dosage of a supplement.

The RNI is the amount of a vitamin or mineral that's enough to meet the nutritional needs of most people.

Upper Safe Levels have been established for most vitamins and minerals to make manufacturers and consumers aware of the safe maximum daily intake of each nutrient. All the vitamins and minerals in the Sanatogen range are below the Upper Safe Levels.
