Treatment groups from the thiamin fortification trial were combined when chi-square test did not reveal significant differences between groups. Vitamin B-1: thiamin + (thiamin monophosphate × 0.871) + (thiamin pyrophosphate × 0.707); vitamin B-2: riboflavin + (FAD × 0.479); vitamin B-6: pyridoxal + (pyridoxine × 1.012). AI, Adequate Intake; IOM, Institute of Medicine; RAE; retinol activity equivalent; TPH, tocopherol.
Adequate Intake as recommended by the Institute of Medicine expressed as concentrations per liter based on a milk consumption of 780 mL/d (34–37).
Published in Whitfield et al. (6).
AI for energy is calculated based on AI for macronutrients.
The IOM does not consider carotenoids in the infant AI for vitamin A.
The IOM only uses α-tocopherol for the infant AI for vitamin E.
