- Adequate Intake (AI)
- Based on the observed or experimentally determined estimates of the average nutrient intake that appears to maintain a defined nutritional state
- Used when not enough information is available to set an EAR and hence an RDI
- Upper Level of Intake (UL)
- The maximum daily intake of a nutrient that appears safe for most healthy people and beyond which there is an increased risk of adverse health effects.
- Set for some vitamins and minerals to reduce the risk of adverse or toxic effects from increased consumption of these nutrients in concentrated form, e.g. In adults 19+ yrs, the UL for vitamin A intake is 3000mcg or 10000IU per day
