DRI Categories and Their Purpose
- The DRI categories serve unique purposes in nutrition.
- EAR (Estimated Average Requirement): develops and evaluates nutrition programs for groups.
- RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) and AI (Adequate Intake): set goals for individual nutrient intake.
- UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level): serves as a reminder to keep nutrient intakes below amounts that increase the risk of toxicity.
