Pronunciation: [ɹˌɛkəmˈɛndɪd dˈe͡ɪli ɐlˈa͡ʊəns] (IPA) 
Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) refers to the amount of a particular nutrient that an individual should consume daily. Other common synonyms for RDA include Daily Reference Intake (DRI), Minimum Daily Requirement (MDR), Daily Value (DV) and Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI). The RDA serves as a guide to ensure that individuals consume enough essential vitamins and minerals to maintain good health. The DRI and MDR are also used in the same context as the RDA and provide additional information about the amount of recommended nutrients. The DV is often listed on food packaging and serves as a percentage of the daily recommended intake. The RNI is commonly used outside of the United States to describe the recommended daily intake of essential nutrients.
