4 figures of DRV
EAR, RNI, LRNI, safe intakes
14 of 28
EAR
estimated average requirement 50% will need more 50% will need less
15 of 28
RNI
reference nutrient intake, ensure needs of nearly all of the population is met 97.5% only 2.5 % will require less
16 of 28
LRNI
lower reference nutrient intake amount of nutrient only enough for small number of people 2.5% most people will need more 97.5%
17 of 28
safe intake
insufficient evidence or data to set a DRV, no risk of deficiency at this level, but no evidence above this has any benefits
