The benchmarks are also known as DA-CH-called benchmarks, have official status and are indicative as the official acknowledged.

In the assessment or the practical handling of the reference values need to be aware that the research in the field of micronutrients far from complete. These values and the intakes are - like that of the DGE itself elected term recommendations (or, more recently reference values) for the nutrient intakes already shows - are not absolute, final figures, but some rough estimates and recommendations, the latest findings always be adjusted accordingly.

They are, in the DA-CH-reference values to values, “for healthy people in Central Europe are true” *. Of the DA-CHReferenzwerten is assumed that they “… almost all persons of the respective population group dietary health damage protect and with them for a full performance guarantee “.
How does the intake of micronutrients in the body felt?

For the prevention of diseases as well as in their therapy, nutrition an important role to play. This aspect is particularly popular in the so-called civilization or diseases such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases, cause of death in Germany Number 1, in the foreground.

“Today, the doctors have increasingly powerful drugs, they decreed with great care and administer. I am convinced they exaggerate this caution, however, in view of the vitamins. Vitamins are nutrients. They rarely have any side effects and side effects are rarely serious, “said Linus Pauling in his book” The vitamin program “.

In fact, vitamins have extremely overdosed, to have any toxic effects. Even with the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E, where for example by the press or television in the public often fears of an overdose geschürt be needed over a longer period of a multiple of the recommended daily amount, in areas of possible side effects. These doses, however, are adapted dose and combined micronutrient products not included.

Nevertheless, just the micronutrients in the course of recent decades angedichtet diverse side effects. This could be in more recent studies disproved, nevertheless keep these “rum ours” and will continue until today repeated at regular intervals and often Additives, which they do not correct.
