What does DRI stand for and what does it mean?

Dietary Reference Intake- New standards for nutrient recommendations that can be used to plan and assess diet for healthy people

What does EAR stand for and what does it mean?

Estimated Average Requirements- nutrient intake value that is estimated to meet the requirement of 50% of the healthy individuals in a group, used to assess nutritional adequacy of intakes of population groups and to calculate RDAs

What does AI stand for and what does it mean? When is it used?

Adequate Intake- value used with no RDA can be determined, recommended daily intake level based on research-based approximation of intake for a group of healthy people

What does UI stand for and what does it mean?

Tolerable Upper Intake Level- highest level of daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk or adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general population, as intake increases above the UL the risk of adverse effects increases.
