Vitamin E: adequacy of infant diets

Karen C. Davis M.S.1

1 Assistant Research Professor, Department of Home Economics Research, Agricultural Experiment Station, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho 83843

The ability of diets for bottle-fed babies up to 1 year of age to meet the recommended dietary allowance with respect to vitamin E depends primarily on the vitamin E content of the formula. Baby foods, other than formulas, contribute 28.6 to 65.2% of the daily intake of vitamin E for infants. Many formulas contribute 5 or more IU of vitamin E but have a ratio of milligrams vitamin E to grams polyunsaturated fatty acid less than the recommended level of 0.6. All formulas should provide an adequate amount of vitamin E, as well as the proper ratio of this vitamin to the PUFA, to protect most of the population consuming them.
