Adequate Intake

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Adequate Intake is the recommended daily intake of a nutrient estimated by the Institute of Medicine in the US to meet or exceed the amount needed to maintain adequate nutrition for most people in a particular life stage and gender group. An AI is established when not enough information is available from scientific research to determine a Recommended Dietary Allowance (a dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of most people).
