EAR (Estimated Average Requirement) is the level of intake that meets the needs of 50% of individuals. RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) is the level of intake that meets the needs of 97-98% of individuals, AI (Adequate Intake) is the level of intake that is estimated to be adequate for most people in a population group, and UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level) is the highest level of intake that is unlikely to cause harm. Therefore, the best choice for meeting the needs of 50% of individuals is the EAR.
