2 This figure represents the proportion of the RDI provided by pre-formed niacin in foods and excludes the niacin provided from the conversion of the amino acid tryptophan.
3 Recommended daily oral intake as a supplement, for those Australians not exposed to sunlight. Because of the major role of sunlight in determining vitamin D status, a RDI for vitamin D was not developed for the Australian population.

|---|---|
| dl-alpha-tocopherol | 1.36 |
