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.
