Recommended dietary allowances (rda): the average daily dietary intake that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly all healthy individuals according to stage of life and gender. Vitamins and minerals either have an rda or ai. Adequate intake (ai): recommended intake value based on observed or experimentally determined approximations or estimates of nutrient intake by a group of healthy people, that are assumed to be adequate; ai is used when an rda cannot be determined. Amount that appears sufficient to take that meets 98% of population. Amount that meets the needs of 50% of a population. Tolerable upper intake level (ul): the highest daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health affects for almost all individuals in the general population.
