Can you enter a new food item or supplement by entering the Percent Daily Values (%DV)?
The ability to enter actual values of % Daily Values saves you a lot of time when package labels include % DV’s but fail to include actual values. Does the software provide nutrient data for enteral and parenteral products? If it is important to you, you should find out which company’s products are covered and how many product entries the software provides. Information on the major products used in modern therapy is handy – especially if it’s organized for you by purpose (gastro-intestinal, hepatic, pulmonary, renal, etc.). Does each food item in the research quality nutrient database provide Nutrient Databank and IFDA numbers? The NDB numbers are those numbers assigned by the Nutrient Data Laboratory of the USDA in the Standard Releases. They serve as a positive identifier for the food item. The IFDA numbers assigns the International Food Distributors Association.
