Question:
Why are RealAge health recommendations different from U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations?

RealAge Answer:
RealAge evaluates the primary research and draws its own conclusions and recommendations; we don't solely rely on FDA interpretation and recommendations, which are considered a secondary source.

With regard to nutrition, for example, FDA guidelines cover minimal nutrient requirements to avoid a deficiency. RealAge recommendations provide the optimal nutrient requirements for longevity, disease prevention, and good health. The RealAge Scientific Advisory Board draws its conclusions from primary research.
