A by Toni Tipton los Angeles times after Reading an article about diet and a recommended dietary allowances Quot i have a question concerning Vitamin pills and their labels. Based on the information on the labels some vitamins Supply More than 1,666 percent of the "u.s. Recommended daily  How is this different from recommended dietary allowances there is a great difference Between the two.
