Why are daily values only general guide to the amounts of nutrients you end each day?

Daily values are general guides because they are based on average nutrient needs for a typical adult and may not account for individual variations in age, sex, activity level, and health status. Additionally, these values are designed to help consumers understand the nutritional content of foods in relation to a balanced diet, but individual requirements can vary significantly. Thus, while they provide a useful benchmark, they should not replace personalized dietary advice.
