A table of facts about vitamins. The main fact being that ‘daily requirement’ that we often see published is really the ‘daily usage’ by the body. It is what you use every day. But that doesn’t mean you have to put that back every day.
Your body stores things. So you can go days or weeks without something while you draw on your stores. And then you top them up later. Now that’s where we get ‘daily storage refill’. You can’t just refill the stores in one massive hit. It takes times. The body can only intake and keep so much per day.
And then there’s the maximum you can take on any day. Far more than the body can use and actually dangerous. So that’s the ‘max daily intake’ when you’re trying to ‘fill up’.
And the ‘tolerance’ is how long your body can go without intaking any. While it is using up the stores.
So all this shows it is a much slower, gentler, easier sort of thing. We need to have a sort of understanding of what is going on.
