DRIs (Dietary Reference Intakes) provide specific recommendations for the daily intake of essential nutrients for different age groups and genders. The nutrition scientist can use DRIs to ensure that the formula diet provides adequate amounts of all necessary nutrients for the adults who will consume it.
