NRV
NRV replaces RDA
The human body is made up of thousands of billions of cells, which each day need very small amounts of Vitamins and Minerals to carry out all their activities at their best.
These substances are present but widely distributed in foods and in vegetable (fruit, vegetables, legumes) and animal origin (meat, eggs, fish, milk, cheese): hence the importance of choosing To follow a varied and balanced diet, which can not be ignored by adopting a healthy lifestyle, in order to take on all the vitamins and minerals needed to maintain our well-being.
The new European Regulation 1169/2011 entered into force on December 13, 2014, which regulates the labeling of foodstuffs in all European countries, ie the information that must be provided to consumers who buy any food, and therefore Also includes dietary supplements.
Among the many innovations, the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance), which indicates the quantity of Vitamins and Minerals, that an adult person, in good health, should take every day to meet their daily minimum requirement , has been replaced by the NRV (Nutrient Reference Values)..
From a quantitative point of view, for consumers, it does not change anything, because the reference values for the NRV are identical to those of the RDA.
The Italian Ministry of Health has also set for each Vitamin and Mineral the maximum daily amountthat can be supplied with a dietary supplement.
