Phenylketonuria affects about 1 in 12,000 babies. [6] Males and females are affected equally. [8] The disease was discovered in 1934 by Ivar Asbjørn Følling, with the importance of diet determined in 1935. [9] As of 2023, genetic therapies that aim to directly restore liver PAH activity are a promising and active research field. [10]
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin B12 is 0.9-2.4 μg/day, while the estimated average requirement in the U.S. and Canada is 0.7-2 μg/day. Elderly individuals with plasma vitamin B12 levels below 148 pmol/L are considered severely deficient, and those with levels between 148 and 221 pmol/L are marginally deficient.

[2] [4] There has been debate as to whether there are 8 or 9 essential amino acids. [5] The consensus seems to lean towards 9 since histidine is not synthesized in adults. [6] There are five amino acids which humans are able to synthesize in the body. These five are alanine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid and serine. There are six ...
The nutrients considered essential for humans comprise nine amino acids, two fatty acids, thirteen vitamins, fifteen minerals and choline. [13] In addition, there are several molecules that are considered conditionally essential nutrients since they are indispensable in certain developmental and pathological states. [13] [14] [15]
