This report, the first in a series designed to be the new framework for providing guidance to federal agencies about nutrient needs and thus replace the former Recommended Dietary Allowances of the Food and Nutrition Board, analyzes the scientific literature regarding human requirements for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D, and fluoride throughout the lifespan, including the relationship to chronic diseases and data on dietary intake.
Where the scientific evidence is sufficient, the report recommends for each nutrient:
- the recommended dietary allowance, which meets the needs of almost all individuals in the group and is based on estimates of average requirement;
- an adequate intake, which is expected to meet the needs of almost all individuals in a group but for which estimates of average requirements are not available; and
- the tolerable upper intake level, which is the maximum intake that is unlikely to pose risks of adverse health effects in almost all individuals in the group.
