Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The term that is used in place of 'recommended daily allowance"  when sufficient data are not available to establish RDA values for a specific nutrient is called Adequate intake (AI)

Explanation:

This is used as a substitution of recommended daily allowance if  sufficient evidence is not given to calculate the ERA.

Values are based on experiment where the value of  mean nutrient is taken from a healthy group of people.

Foe example nutritional stages of normal growth,maintenance of normal circulating nutrient value or general health.
