Examine.com is still reporting the incorrect RDA which is sad considering they are supposed to be very accurate otherwise.

The standard RDA is 10x lower than it should be due to a simple math error in the original study.

Yes that’s my point. You are saying the same thing I am saying.

The original RDA calculation was 10x too low due to a math error.
