Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is the daily level of intake for essential nutrients—such as vitamins, minerals, and proteins—that is considered sufficient to meet the nutritional needs of most healthy individuals in a specific age and gender group. It serves as a guideline to help people plan a balanced diet and avoid deficiencies. The RDA is based on scientific research and aims to promote optimal health and prevent health problems related to nutrient shortages. Keep in mind, individual needs may vary, and healthcare providers can offer personalized advice.
