- Estimated to meet the nutrients requirements of one-half of healthy individuals for a specific age and gender group
- Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA):
- Sufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly all healthy individuals for a specific age and gender group
- Adequate Intake (AI)
- Based on estimates of nutrient intake by healthy individuals
- Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)
- Highest nutrient intake level likely to pose no risk for adverse health effects
