Human Vitamins & Minerals

[Levalicious]

Not sure if this should go into the Biology section or here.

 

Does anyone have an approximate for how much of each mineral/vitamin a human needs?

 

I am guessing that the relationship between that amount and the weight of the person would be linear, but I don't know, and I don't know if such values even exist.

 

Thank you,

Lev

I googled 'vitamins rda'. rda - recommended daily amount.

*time out white flag* On a side note of course...: What are people who study this professionally and help people called? are the people who research and publish about it the same people who teach about it? Are they physicians? what is it called when you study these reactions and needs in people (not including lab made medicines/chem)? is it a specialty? in what field?

 

if this is an inappropriate hijack of your thread i really apologize-i just wish i knew how to know how to answer you... mini detour asked for out of despiration for much needed education; please feel free to refer me elsewhere or ignore if need be-

 

Thanx
