The Upper Level value (UL) is the dose of a vitamin that yields a toxic response in 50% of patients that receive it. The RDI for a vitamin is approximately 1.2 X (Estimated average requirement). Vitamin B6 is a water soluble vitamin that has no defined UL. All water soluble vitamins are unstable to heat used for cooking. The Daily Value (DV) for water soluble vitamins is always greater than the EAR. IB. 8 pts.
