Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are a set of reference values used to plan and assess nutrient intakes of healthy people. They include:

• RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) — The average daily intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97-98%) healthy individuals.
• AI (Adequate Intake) — Established when evidence is insufficient to develop an RDA. Based on observed nutrient intake by healthy people.
• UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level) — The maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects. Exceeding the UL increases the risk of toxicity.

Values vary by age, gender, and life stage (pregnancy, lactation).
