The information provided in the statement allows the scientists to determine the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for the vitamin for a healthy woman between 19 and 30 years of age. The RDA is the average daily intake level that meets the nutrient requirement of nearly all (97%-98%) healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group. The statement does not provide information to determine the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) or Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) for the vitamin, or the Adequate Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for the vitamin. It also does not provide information on the toxicity or potential side effects of consuming more than 40 mg/day of the vitamin.
