8. Kevin was a participant in a clinical study to determine how much niacin cures pellagra, the niacin
deficiency disease. During the study, he consumed only a formula diet that was deficient in niacin.
After developing pellagra, he was given 2 mg of niacin a day for 2 weeks, but he still suffered from
the disease, so the scientists added 2 mg of the vitamin to Kevin’s formula. By the beginning of the
5th week of the study, the researchers noticed that Kevin’s signs and symptoms were greatly
improved. At the end of the 5th week, he was feeling fine. The researchers concluded that

1. A. Kevin’s niacin requirement was about 4 mg a day.
2. Kevin’s Daily Value for niacin was 4 mg a day.
3. the RDA for niacin should be 4 mg.
4. the AI for niacin should be 4 mg plus 60 mg as a margin of safety.
