Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) present goals for nutrient intake using two main value sets: Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) and Adequate Intakes (AI). When evidence is insufficient to set an RDA, an AI is used as a more tentative target, and both can guide intake. DRI also includes Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) as maximum amounts generally safe for most healthy people. The material further introduces Estimated Energy Requirements (EER) and provides reference tables for water, energy, and energy nutrients across age, sex, and special conditions such as pregnancy and lactation.

In addition to the values that serve as goals for nutrient in-takes(presented in the tables on these two pages),the DRI in-clude a set of values called Tolerable Upper Intake Levels(UL).The UL represent the maximum amount of a nutrient that ap-pears safe for most healthy people to consume on a regular ba-sis.Turn the page for a listing of the UL for selected vitaminsand minerals.

FAQs

What do RDA and AI represent in the DRI framework?

RDA reflects the average daily amount of a nutrient adequate for most healthy people. If evidence is insufficient to determine an RDA, AI is set and used as a more tentative goal for intake.

What are Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL)?

UL represent the maximum amount of a nutrient that appears safe for most healthy people to consume regularly.

What information do the included tables support?

The tables support estimating water and energy needs, including EER and nutrient reference values across age and sex, and they include sections for pregnancy and lactation.
