Selenio en la dieta - Recommendations

Recomendaciones:

La ración diaria recomendada (RDR) para las vitaminas refleja qué tanta cantidad de cada vitamina deben obtener la mayoría de las personas cada día. La RDR para las vitaminas se puede usar como meta para cada persona.

La cantidad de cada vitamina que se necesita depende de su edad y sexo. Otros factores, como el embarazo y las enfermedades, son igualmente importantes. Las mujeres embarazadas o lactantes necesitan cantidades mayores. Pregúntele al médico qué cantidad es la mejor para usted.

Ingestas de referencia en la dieta para el selenio:

Bebés:

0-6 meses: 15 microgramos por día (mcg/día)
7-12 meses: 20 mcg/día

Niños:

1-3 años: 30 mcg/día
4-8 años: 30 mcg/día
9-13 años 40 mcg/día

Adolescentes y adultos:

Hombres de 14 años en adelante: 55 mcg/día
Mujeres de 14 años en adelante: 55 mcg/día

La mejor manera de obtener los requerimientos diarios de vitaminas esenciales es consumir una dieta balanceada que contenga una variedad de alimentos.
