Estimated average requirements, RDI/AIs and ULs for a 25-year old male are shown below. ULs shown as "ND" could not be determined, and it is recommended that intake from these nutrients be from food only, to prevent adverse effects. Amounts and "ND" status for other age and gender groups, pregnant women, lactating women, and breastfeeding infants are different.[1]

Nutrient RDI/AI UL Unit
Vitamin A 4000 15000 IU
Vitamin C 90 2000 mg
Vitamin D 200 2000 IU
Vitamin K 120 ND µg
Vitamin B6 1.3 100 mg
α-tocopherol (E) 15 1000 IU
Biotin 30 ND µg
Boron - 20 mg
Calcium 1000 2500 mg
Chloride 2300 3600 mg
Chromium 35 ND µg
Choline 550 3500 mg
Copper 900 10000 µg
Cyanocobalamin (B12) 2.4 ND µg
Fluoride 4 10 mg
Folate (B9) 400 1000 µg
Iodine 150 1100 µg
Iron 8 45 mg
Magnesium 420 350a mg
Manganese 7.1 11 mg
Molybdenum 45 2000 µg
Niacin (B3) 16 35 mg
Nickel - 1.0 mg
Pantothenic acid (B5) 5 ND mg
Phosphorus 700 4000 mg
Potassium 4700 ND mg
Thiamin (B1) 1.2 ND mg
Riboflavin (B2) 1.3 ND mg
Selenium 55 400 µg
Sodium 1500 2300 mg
Sulfate - ND -
Zinc 11 40 mg

a From pill only, not including food and water intake.

EAR: Estimated Average Requirements; RDI: Reference Daily Intake; AI: Adequate Intake; UL: Tolerable upper intake levels.

It is also recommended that the following substances not be added to food or dietary supplements. Research has been conducted into adverse effects, but was not conclusive in many cases:

Substance RDI/AI UL units per day
Arsenic - ND -
Silicon - ND -
Vanadium - 1.8 mg

This list shows examples of monomyths, as described by Joseph Campbell and other sources.
