Daily Intakes (DI’s) are a guide of adequate intake levels of essential nutrients required to meet the needs of most people.

The DI values are based on an average adult diet of 8700kJ. You will need to remember that DI values are only a guide, not a recommendation. The values represent a benchmark of an acceptable intake, suitable for most people.

An individual’s daily intake may be higher or lower depending on energy needs, which vary from person to person depending on gender, age, weight and activity levels. Try our Energy Counter to get an estimate of your daily energy needs.

Remember young children and inactive people are likely to have lower energy requirements.

How to use the DI labels on our drinks

Our DI labels are a useful tool to assist you in managing your daily energy intake. They will help you to work out how much a serve of each of our drinks contributes to your daily energy needs. They also useful to help you compare products and choose a drink that best suits your lifestyle.

For example if you are inactive, your Daily Intake needs for energy are likely to be lower (less than 8700kJ) and you may wish to choose a lower kilojoule drink which contributes less energy to your total diet and therefore has a lower % DI.

If you are active however, a drink with a higher energy content and therefore higher % DI may fit within your daily energy needs.
