RDA stands for Recommended Daily Allowance - how much of a vitamin or mineral an adult needs to avoid deficiency. They are set by the EC.They are minimum requirements - many people believe we need much more for optimum health.
RNI stands for Reference Nutrient Intake, and are the UK values, which were decided after major Government research in 1991. They are the correct amount for 97% of people, broken down into the needs of men, women, children and over-50s.
