A. No. The Daily Values are designed to reflect ALL of the vitamins and minerals consumed in one day, including those nutrients which occur in foods or are added to foods as fortification and dietary supplements. The use of multi-vitamin/multi-mineral products offering 100% of the USDRI serves as excellent insurance that at least the basic needs are met.
