TABLE 7. Summary of extrapolations used to determine recommended vitamin intakes <strong>for</strong> pregnancy and lactation <strong>for</strong> all<br />

reports reviewed<br />

Agency Pregnancy Lactation<br />

Vitamin A<br />

Canada/USA [28] a EAR <strong>for</strong> age plus estimated daily accumulation<br />

by fetus<br />

Caribbean [16] Add amount <strong>for</strong> maternal stores and fetal growth<br />

to nonpregnant value<br />

European<br />

Community [10]<br />

Plus 100 µg RE/day (= total 700 µg RE/day) to<br />

enhance maternal storage and provide <strong>for</strong> fetal<br />

supply.<br />

Intakes > 6,000 µg/day have been associated with<br />

birth defects<br />

Nordic [13] An additional 50 µg/day would be needed to<br />

achieve adequate accretion in fetal liver; to cover<br />

individual variation an additional 100 µg/day<br />

(total 800 µg/day) is recommended (p4 + 6)<br />

<strong>United</strong> Kingdom<br />

[17]<br />

Vitamin E<br />

Additional vitamin A supply to support fetal<br />

growth and maternal tissue growth, in line with<br />

FAO/WHO recommendations <strong>based</strong> on body<br />

pool size<br />

RNI: + 100 µg/day<br />

S73<br />

EAR <strong>for</strong> age plus amount secreted in human milk<br />

Add amount secreted in human milk (400 µg RE/<br />

day) in addition to nonpregnant value<br />

Plus 350 µg RE/day (= total 950 µg RE/day) <strong>based</strong><br />

on amount secreted with human milk<br />

An additional 400 µg/day (total 1,100 µg/day) is<br />

recommended to cover average milk excretion<br />

reported in Western countries as about 350–450<br />

µg/day<br />

To cover amounts secreted with milk RNI: 0–4<br />

mo and<br />

4+ mo: + 350 µg/day<br />

Canada/USA [28] a Add amount secreted in milk<br />

Caribbean [16] Add amount <strong>for</strong> fetal growth adjusted <strong>for</strong> incomplete<br />

absorption<br />

D-A-CH [8] Additional intake + 1 mg TE/day (total 13 mg<br />

TE/day) <strong>based</strong> on increased intakes of energy<br />

and polyunsaturated fatty acids<br />

European<br />

Community[10]<br />

Nordic [13] + 2 mg TE/day (2nd and 3rd trimesters) to cover<br />

additional needs<br />

<strong>United</strong> Kingdom<br />

[17]<br />

Vitamin C<br />

Add amount <strong>for</strong> vitamin E secreted in milk<br />

adjusted <strong>for</strong> incomplete absorption<br />

Additional intake + 5 mg TE/day (total 17 mg<br />

TE/day) <strong>based</strong> on increased intakes of energy<br />

and polyunsaturated fatty acids<br />

No specific recommendation No specific recommendation<br />

+ 2 mg TE/day to cover secretion with milk<br />

No specific recommendation No specific recommendation<br />

Canada/USA [28] a EAR <strong>for</strong> age plus amount secreted in human milk<br />

Caribbean [16] NA<br />

D-A-CH [8] Additional intake + 10 mg/day (total 110 mg/<br />

day), considering reduced plasma concentration<br />

and decreased body reserves during pregnancy,<br />

and bioavailability<br />

European Community<br />

[10]<br />

Additional intake + 10 mg/day (total 55 mg/day)<br />

to allow <strong>for</strong> the 50% higher fetal plasma levels<br />

and higher catabolic rate of the fetus<br />

Nordic [13] Additional intake + 10 mg/day (total 85 mg/day)<br />

to cover increased needs <strong>for</strong> fetal growth and<br />

catabolized vitamin C<br />

<strong>United</strong> Kingdom<br />

[17]<br />

Additional intake + 10 mg/day (total 50 mg/day)<br />

during the 3rd trimester to allow <strong>for</strong> the 50%<br />

higher fetal plasma levels and higher catabolic<br />

rate of the fetus<br />

Additional intake + 50 mg/day (total 150 mg/<br />

day), to cover excretion with breastmilk<br />

Additional intake + 25 mg/day (total 70 mg/day)<br />

to cover at least 20 mg/day excreted with breastmilk,<br />

assuming 85% bioavailability<br />

Additional intake + 25 mg/day (total 100 mg/day)<br />

to cover excretion with breastmilk<br />

Additional intake + 30 mg/day (total 70 mg/day)<br />

to ensure that maternal stores are maintained<br />

and breastmilk levels are in the upper half of<br />

physiological range<br />

EAR, estimated average requirement; RE, retinol equivalent; RNI, reference nutrient intake; D-A-CH, Germany-Austria-Switzerland-Slovenia;<br />

TE, alpha-tocopherol equivalent<br />

a. The reports from Canada/USA [5, 6, 28-31] assumed a milk volume of 780 mL/day during lactation <strong>for</strong> the first 6 months and 640 mL/day<br />

after 6 months.
