  • Title: Upper limits of zinc, copper and manganese in infant formulas.
    Author: Hambidge KM, Krebs NF.
    Journal: J Nutr; 1989 Dec; 119(12 Suppl):1861-4. PubMed ID: 2693649.
    Abstract:
    Upper limits are proposed for zinc, copper and manganese in infant formulas. At these limits intakes would be lower than would intakes shown to be associated with toxicity, but the upper limits of an entirely safe range of intake remain uncertain. The proposed limits provide a considerable margin beyond normal nutritional requirements, and it is not recommended that formulas should typically contain these quantities. The proposed upper limits (per 100 kcal) are 1.5 mg of zinc, 200 micrograms of copper and 50 micrograms of manganese.
