Notes:

This is the nutrient profile based on Mexico's government's DRI standards, as expressed in the norm: NOM-051-SCFI-/SSA1- 2010.

I am using the macro ratio that Soylent 1.5 uses here, as follows:

Calories: 45% carbohydrate 40% fat 15% protein

Notes:

  • The units in the norm are written in micrograms. To convert micrograms to IU, I used this tool.
  • Mexican government doesn't include in their recommendation Biotin or Choline. So that they're not left out, I just left the U.S. government recommendation there, instead of giving those vitamins a zero.
  • Mexican government recommends a daily intake of 2.2 mg of Fluoride. But this tool doesn't list that mineral, so I had to leave it out.
  • In regards of Sodium, I am including the WHO recommendation, because the Mexican government seems to base their recommendations on these evidence, as cited in this other norm. I wrote 500mg as a minimum per day, because the WHO says in this paper that the minimum intake of sodium should be 200–500 mg/day.
  • In regards of minerals, potassium, sulfur, chloride, manganese and molybdenum are not among the minerals recommended by the Mexican government, or at least, they are not listed. I also left the U.S. government values for reference.
  • In general, Mexican government doesn't has a recommendation for "max" intake, so I just left the U.S. government recommendation there for reference.
  • Also, the Mexican government hasn't published anything regarding fatty acids, therefore I used the Institute of Medicine's Dietary Reference Intakes for macronutrients, including linolenic acid (omega-6 fatty acid) and alpha linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid).
