DRIs are dietary reference values for the intake of nutrients and food components by Americans and Canadians.
They are references values that are quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets for healthy people. Collectively referred to as the Dietary References Intakes, the DRIs include four nutrient-based reference values that are used to assess and plan the diets of healthy people. The reference values include the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR), the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), the Adequate Intake (AI), and the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL).
The scientific data used to develop DRIs have come from observational and experimental studies. Studies published in peer-reviewed journals were the principle sources of data.
