Generation

## Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) **What it is:** The RDA is the average daily dietary intake level of a nutrient that is sufficient to meet the requirements of nearly all (97-98%) healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group. It's set by expert panels based on scientific evidence and serves as a goal for daily intake. ## Common Misconception **"The RDA is the minimum amount needed to survive"** Many people mistakenly believe RDAs represent bare minimum requirements to prevent deficiency diseases. In reality, RDAs are set well above minimum needs and include a safety margin. They're designed to cover the needs of nearly everyone in a population, meaning most individuals actually require *less* than the RDA. The true minimum requirement varies by person and is typically lower than the published RDA.
