Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs)
One of the many many hypothesis of why a sanguin needs blood is that it is to replace or suppliment a nutritional factor they cannot create themselves normally. Akin to eating a banana because you are low in potassium. We have all probably heard or the "RDA" or "Recommended Daily Allowences", this is an amount of certain protiens or minerals that should be consumed each day in order to be healthy and have a balanced diet. The following chart are the RDA for select vitamins and minerals. RDA does vary depending on age, growth, pregancy and exercise/activity so the following are teh averages for males and females ages 20-50 years.
| Element | RDA |
| Calcium | 800-1300 mg |
| Chloride | 750 mg |
| Sodium | 500 mg |
| Potassium | 2000 mg |
| Phosphorus | 2000 mg |
| Vit A | 700-900 ug |
| Vit B12 | 1.8-2.4 mcg |
| Vit C | 75-90 mg |
| Vit D | 15-20 ug |
| Vit E | 11-15 mg |
| Vit K | 90-120 ug |
| Folate | 300-400 ug |
| Niacin | 14-16 mg |
| Riboflavin (B2) | 0.9-1.3 mg |
| Thiamine (B1) | 0.9-1.2 mg |
| Vit B6 | 1.2-1.7 mg |
| Iodine | 80-150 ug |
| Iron | 10-18 mg |
| Magnesium | 130-420 mg |
| Zinc | 10-15mg |
| Selenium | 20-70 ug |
| Floride | 1.1-3.8 mg |
Now, realize, dietary intake at the levels recommended relies on the body actually absorbing that nutrient. If there is a defect in the gastrointestinal system and the body is unable to absorb the nutrient normally, it does not matter how much is in the food. This will be discussed in more detail in "The List".
