Our Approach to Formulation

We have formulated Meilleur with a close reference to:

1) The results of our original Food Testing

2) EU/UK NRV’s (see table below)

3) EU Safe Upper Limits (SULs) (see table below)

4) US Daily Values (DV) (see table below)

5) Expert opinion

Our Food Studies

We analysed several different possible daily diets for their nutritional profile.

Then compared them to the Guidelines shown above to decide and compile the formula for Meilleur.

EU/UK Nutrient Reference Values (NRV’s)

The UK + European Union use the term Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) in food labelling.

NRVs serve as a baseline for determining adequate nutrient intake for most people.

Of course, we are very different in so many ways; gender, age, shapes and sizes etc, and so the NRV’s are only guidelines.

These Nutrient Reference Values represent the recommended levels of
vitamins and minerals that an average adult should consume daily to:

1) Maintain good health.

2) Prevent nutrient deficiencies.

3) Support normal physiological functions, like immunity, energy metabolism, and bone health.

EU Safe Upper Limits (SULs)

The Safe Upper Limits (SULs) in the European Union are the highest
levels of daily nutrient intake that are unlikely to pose risks of
adverse health effects for most individuals in the population.

Established by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), these
limits are based on comprehensive scientific assessments of nutrient
safety. SULs are designed to prevent excessive consumption of vitamins
and minerals from supplements and fortified foods, ensuring safety while
supporting adequate nutrition.

They provide valuable guidance for regulatory frameworks, health professionals, and consumers across the EU.

US Dietary Reference Values (DRVs

The Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) in the United States are a set of nutritional benchmarks established to guide dietary intake and promote health across different population groups.

DRVs serve as the foundation for dietary guidelines, food labelling, and public health initiatives in the U.S., helping individuals make informed nutritional choices and avoid deficiencies or excesses.
