The dietary reference intake table (DRI) is a comprehensive document providing the amounts of each individual nutrient one would need at different stages of their life which include age, sex, lactation and pregnancy. Conventionally, consumers are expected to use the recommended dietary allowance or RDA, derived from the estimated average requirement or EAR, to gage approximately how much of a nutrient they should aim to consume within their day. Note that while the latter value will satisfy the nutrient intake level for 50% of the population the initial value is projected to satisfy necessary nutrient intake for approximately 98% of the population. When researchers lack these two values a adequate intake value or AI is generated, reflecting the estimated an appropriate nutrient consumption by healthy individuals as defined by experimental studies. Upper intake levels are provided for nutrients that can reach a level of toxicity in the body when over consumed. Any listed percent values in the upcoming section refer to the ratio of food actually consumed by

However, concerning deficiency there is a great lack of vitamin D, as my client consumes only 27% of the recommended amount. While this does not account for vitamin D obtained from sun exposure, do to harmful UV ray exposure it is best not to obtain vitamin D from unprotected sun exposure.
All minerals are consumed in excess, exceeding the RDA values prescribed to my client.
In regards to upper limits both Niacin and Sodium have been exceeded by almost double the maximum amount for reaching toxicity. While the upper limit of Niacin is 35mg my client is consuming 60.02mg. In regards to sodium, a common overconsumption, and my client is consuming 4409mg exceeding the upper limit of 2300mg. The prolonged overconsumption of this vitamin and mineral can result in adverse affects so these issues should be remedied as soon as
