Therefore, the RDA for individual intake follows the similar pattern as for thiamin. RDI for riboflavin for adults are 0.6 mg/ 1000 Kcal, i.e. for adult males, the requirements are 1.4 mg/day while for adult females, it is 1.1 mg/day and increase up to 1.3- 1.4 mg/day during pregnancy and lactation. Compare this Indian requirement with the FAOIWHO 2004 recommendations presented in Table. How do the requirements compare?
