Document Summary

**final - know calculations for niacin, tryptophan, bmi, energy. Water soluble - b, c - not stored, excreted easily, need to replace more often fat soluble - a, d, e and k - stored longer in body. Pteroylpolyglutamate = folate in food contains more than in pharmaceutical form (pga), less ideal, need more. Pteroylmonoglutamic acid (pga) = folic acid supplement. Pharmaceutical form, most stable, easier to absorb, need less. 1 g/mcg folate = 0. 6 g/mcg folic acid. Dietary folate equivalent (dfe) adjusts for low bioavailability of folate. 1 dfe = 1 mcg folate = 0. 6 mcg folic acid when consumed with food. 1 dfe = 1 mcg folate = 0. 5 mcg folic acid when consumed without food. Ai: infants ear: children, adolescents, adults rda: adolescents, adults ul: infants, children, adolescents, adults. Ul: 19+ years - 1000mcg/day from fortified foods and/or supplements.
