Adequate Intake is the recommended daily dietary intake level that is assumed to be adequate and that is based on experimentally determined approximations of observed nutrient intake by a group of healthy people. Estimated Average Requirement (A) is the intake level for a nutrient at which the needs of 50% of the population will be met. Recommended Dietary Allowance (C) is the amount of a nutrient that is sufficient to meet the needs of almost all (97-98%) healthy individuals in a specific age and gender group. Tolerable Upper Intake Level (D) is the highest level of a nutrient intake that is unlikely to pose a risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in a specific age and gender group.
