R is for RDI's & Riboflavin

Recommended Dietary Intakes (RDI’s)
Are recommended levels of intake of essential nutrients, considered adequate to meet the nutritional needs of most healthy people.  RDI’s exceed the actual nutrient requirements to accommodate the variations in absorption and metabolism of different nutrients.

Riboflavin
More commonly known as Vitamin B2 – is a water soluble vitamin (not readily stored in the body and excess is excreted in urine) found in foods such as milk and dairy products, meat, eggs, grains, green leafy vegetables and beans.  Riboflavin is important for energy production and the maintenance of healthy skin.
