Composition of supplements. M; male, F; female. Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) values obtained from Institute of Medicine 1998 [48]. RDAs are set to meet the needs of almost all (97 to 98 percent) individuals in the 19–50 years group. ^indicates Adequate Intakes (AIs) are reported instead of RDA.
