Iron RDAs for nonvegetarians. The RDAs for vegetarians are 1.8 times higher than for nonvegetarians because heme iron from meat is more bioavailable than nonheme iron from plant-based foods.

* For infants from birth to 6 months, the AI for iron is equivalent to the mean intake of iron in healthy, breastfed infants.
