				Event Page_banner_RDA Science Symposium 2023
	Most countries have established recommended nutrient intake values for use for a variety of food and nutrition programs. These have traditionally been provided as recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), with focus on energy, protein and several vitamins and minerals. They are classically used to ensure adequacy of intake of these nutrients of population groups. While these remain of great importance, especially for developing countries, it has now been observed that certain nutrients, when taken at higher dose above RDA, may confer health benefit(s) beyond prevention of nutritional disorders. It would be important to examine how these levels may provide protective effects against some disease conditions. Understanding and establishing appropriate safe upper limit (UL) of nutrients are also of importance. Additionally, there is growing scientific evidence that bioactive components in foods may provide health benefits beyond classical nutrients. Regulatory authorities have permitted the addition of these components to foods and to make function claims.
This seminar provides a platform to review and deliberate on these various aspects of recommended intake values for nutrients and bioactives. These have important implications and impact on various aspects of food and nutrition activities, including food intake programs, product innovation, food fortification, and supplementation.

Dr Tee is also Adjunct Professor of the International Medical University, Malaysia.
Application of Recommended Intake Values Beyond Nutrient Deficiency Prevention: Past vs. Present
Prof. Manfred Eggersdorfer, University of Groningen, the Netherlands
Prof. Manfred Eggersdorfer studied chemistry at the Technical University Munich and did his PhD in organic chemistry in the field of synthesis and characterization of unusual amino acids. He was post-doc at the Stanford-University, California working with Carl Djerassi on the isolation and characterization of sterols from marine origin as potential contraceptives.
He joined Roche in 1999 as Head of R+D Vitamins and continued in this responsibility after DSM acquired this business in 2003.
Since 2013 Manfred Eggersdorfer holds the chair for Healthy Ageing at the University Medical Center Groningen (NL) and teaches nutrition for medical students. His scientific work focuses on the role of essential nutrients for health, vitality, and well-being, especially on the impact of inadequate intake and status of micronutrients over the life cycle with a focus on long term health and healthy ageing.
He is active as member of the Advisory Board of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and he acts as Board member of the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Vitaminforschung e.V in Germany. He is author of numerous publications in the fields of vitamins, carotenoids, omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids and nutraceuticals for infants, adults, elderly and risk groups and on innovation in nutritional ingredients. He engages as reviewer for a variety of journals and is Associate Editor of the "International Journal of Vitamin and Nutrition Research" and other journals. Upper Limit: Optimizing the Benefits of Nutrients Safely
Dr. Andrew Bartholomaeus, BartCrofts Pty Ltd, Australia
Dr. Andrew Bartholomaeus is currently the CEO of BartCrofts Pty Ltd, which specializes in providing toxicological and regulatory scientific services for a variety of chemical food safety issues. He also holds extramural appointments as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Queensland Medical School, Australia and an Adjunct Professor of Toxicology and Pharmacy at the University of Canberra, Australia.

Following a PhD at UOC, Anitra undertook an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University, USA. Whilst there she produced a number of high impact publications on the role of vitamin C in human health and disease which helped inform US dietary recommendations for vitamin C (IOM 2000). Following a return to New Zealand, Anitra began carrying out a translational research program comprising human intervention studies investigating the bioavailability and potential health effects of vitamin C which has helped inform EU dietary recommendations for vitamin C (EFSA 2013). More recently she has carried out research into the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic diseases such as infection, cancer and diabetes. In 2016 Anitra was awarded a 4-year New Zealand Health Research Council Fellowship to investigate the role of vitamin C in severe infections such as pneumonia and sepsis, two major complications of COVID-19. In 2021, Anitra was invited by the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2022 (NNR2022) committee to update vitamin C recommendations for the 8 Nordic and Baltic countries.

These have traditionally been provided as recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), with focus on energy, protein and several vitamins and minerals. They are classically used to ensure adequacy of intake of these nutrients of population groups. While these remain of great importance, especially for developing countries, it has now been observed that certain nutrients, when taken at higher dose above RDA, may confer health benefit(s) beyond prevention of nutritional disorders. It would be important to examine how these levels may provide protective effects against some disease conditions. Understanding and establishing appropriate safe upper limit (UL) of nutrients are also of importance. Additionally, there is growing scientific evidence that bioactive components in foods may provide health benefits beyond classical nutrients. Regulatory authorities have permitted the addition of these components to foods and to make function claims.
This seminar provides a platform to review and deliberate on these various aspects of recommended intake values for nutrients and bioactives. These have important implications and impact on various aspects of food and nutrition activities, including food intake programs, product innovation, food fortification, and supplementation.

Application of Recommended Intake Values Beyond Nutrient Deficiency Prevention: Past vs. Present
Prof. Manfred Eggersdorfer, University of Groningen, the Netherlands
Prof. Manfred Eggersdorfer studied chemistry at the Technical University Munich and did his PhD in organic chemistry in the field of synthesis and characterization of unusual amino acids. He was post-doc at the Stanford-University, California working with Carl Djerassi on the isolation and characterization of sterols from marine origin as potential contraceptives.
He joined Roche in 1999 as Head of R+D Vitamins and continued in this responsibility after DSM acquired this business in 2003.
Since 2013 Manfred Eggersdorfer holds the chair for Healthy Ageing at the University Medical Center Groningen (NL) and teaches nutrition for medical students. His scientific work focuses on the role of essential nutrients for health, vitality, and well-being, especially on the impact of inadequate intake and status of micronutrients over the life cycle with a focus on long term health and healthy ageing.
He is active as member of the Advisory Board of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and he acts as Board member of the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Vitaminforschung e.V in Germany. He is author of numerous publications in the fields of vitamins, carotenoids, omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids and nutraceuticals for infants, adults, elderly and risk groups and on innovation in nutritional ingredients.
