established nutrient levels

Established nutrient levels are standardized measurements indicating the ideal amount of specific nutrients needed for good health. These levels help ensure your body functions properly, support growth, and prevent deficiencies or toxicities. They are determined based on scientific research and vary depending on age, sex, and life stage. For example, recommended daily intakes for vitamins and minerals guide food choices and supplementation. These standards help policymakers, healthcare providers, and individuals make informed decisions to maintain optimal health and well-being.
