Question
Kevin was a participant in a clinical study to determine how much niacin cures pellagra,the niacin deficiency disease.During the study,he consumed only a formula diet that was deficient in niacin.After developing pellagra,he was given 2 mg of niacin a day for 2 weeks,but he still suffered from the disease,so the scientists added 2 mg of the vitamin to Kevin's formul A.By the beginning of the 5th week of the study,the researchers noticed that Kevin's signs and symptoms were greatly improved.At the end of the 5th week,he was feeling fine.The researchers concluded that

Recently,Miriah participated in a study that was designed to determine how much iron is necessary to prevent iron deficiency.Within a few weeks of consuming an iron-free diet,Miriah's red blood cells began to show signs that they lacked iron,and she began to complain about feeling tired.At that point,the researched added some iron to Miriah's food,so her daily intake of the mineral would be 1 mg.After 1 week,the researchers checked the iron content of Miriah's blood,and although it was higher than the earlier value,she still complained about feeling tired.In the weeks that followed,the scientists continued to increase Miriah's iron intake by 1 mg/week and check her for signs and symptoms of iron deficiency.After a week of taking 6 mg of iron/day,she reported feeling like "her old self" and having plenty of energy.Based on this information,the researchers concluded that Miriah's

A)body required 6 mg iron/day.
B)UL for iron was 6 mg,plus 3 mg as a margin of safety.
