Most countries have established recommended nutrient intake values for use for a variety of food and nutrition programs. These have traditionally been provided as recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), with focus on energy, protein and several vitamins and minerals. They are classically used to ensure adequacy of intake of these nutrients of population groups. While these remain of great importance, especially for developing countries, it has now been observed that certain nutrients, when taken at higher dose above RDA, may confer health benefit(s) beyond prevention of nutritional disorders. It would be important to examine how these levels may provide protective effects against some disease conditions. Understanding and establishing appropriate safe upper limit (UL) of nutrients are also of importance. Additionally, there is growing scientific evidence that bioactive components in foods may provide health benefits beyond classical nutrients. Regulatory authorities have permitted the addition of these components to foods and to make function claims.
This seminar provides a platform to review and deliberate on these various aspects of recommended intake values for nutrients and bioactives. These have important implications and impact on various aspects of food and nutrition activities, including food intake programs, product innovation, food fortification, and supplementation.

Prof. Anitra Carr is Director of the Nutrition in Medicine Research Group at the University of Otago, Christchurch, New Zealand. Anitra is a biomedical researcher and international key opinion leader on the role of vitamin C in human health and disease. Following a PhD at UOC, Anitra undertook an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University, USA. Whilst there she produced a number of high impact publications on the role of vitamin C in human health and disease which helped inform US dietary recommendations for vitamin C (IOM 2000). Following a return to New Zealand, Anitra began carrying out a translational research program comprising human intervention studies investigating the bioavailability and potential health effects of vitamin C which has helped inform EU dietary recommendations for vitamin C (EFSA 2013). More recently she has carried out research into the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic diseases such as infection, cancer and diabetes. In 2016 Anitra was awarded a 4-year New Zealand Health Research Council Fellowship to investigate the role of vitamin C in severe infections such as pneumonia and sepsis, two major complications of COVID-19.

Prof. Anitra Carr, University of Otago, New Zealand
Prof. Anitra Carr is Director of the Nutrition in Medicine Research Group at the University of Otago, Christchurch, New Zealand. Anitra is a biomedical researcher and international key opinion leader on the role of vitamin C in human health and disease. Following a PhD at UOC, Anitra undertook an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University, USA. Whilst there she produced a number of high impact publications on the role of vitamin C in human health and disease which helped inform US dietary recommendations for vitamin C (IOM 2000). Following a return to New Zealand, Anitra began carrying out a translational research program comprising human intervention studies investigating the bioavailability and potential health effects of vitamin C which has helped inform EU dietary recommendations for vitamin C (EFSA 2013). More recently she has carried out research into the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic diseases such as infection, cancer and diabetes. In 2016 Anitra was awarded a 4-year New Zealand Health Research Council Fellowship to investigate the role of vitamin C in severe infections such as pneumonia and sepsis, two major complications of COVID-19. In 2021, Anitra was invited by the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2022 (NNR2022) committee to update vitamin C recommendations for the 8 Nordic and Baltic countries. Anitra is Associate Editor for the journal Nutrition Research and a long-time member of the Editorial Boards of the journals Nutrients and Antioxidants. Anitra was recently awarded a Gold Medal for sustained research excellence.
