RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWANCE OF VITAMINS & MINERALS: IS IT ENOUGH?

Most vitamin and mineral supplements come with an RDA – a recommended daily allowance.  Is this a good dosage to go off, or should you be taking more or less?

As with everything – it depends, and a variety of factors need to be taken into account.  It is good to keep in mind that the RDA is recommended to suggest just enough so you don’t get sick – the RDA is not designed for optimal health. In this video, Luke explains when and why you would vary vitamin and mineral dosages from the RDA, as well as why it is so important to know exactly what you are doing when increasing dosage.
