Non-Deficient Adults

Meaning

Non-Deficient Adults refers to a population of individuals whose intake, absorption, and circulating levels of a specific micronutrient, vitamin, or hormone meet the established criteria for adequacy, such as the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) or recognized clinical reference ranges. This designation implies that the individual is not suffering from a recognized deficiency syndrome related to that particular substance. This group serves as the baseline for assessing the effects of supplementation.
