What it is

Thiamine hydrochloride is the salt form of thiamine, also known as vitamin B1. It is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and nerve function. It can be synthesized chemically or derived from natural sources.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add thiamine hydrochloride to foods as a nutrient supplement, often to fortify cereals, baked goods, and beverages. It is used to help restore thiamine levels lost during food processing or to increase the nutritional value of a product.

Health notes

Thiamine hydrochloride is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. It is an essential vitamin for human health, and deficiency can lead to serious health issues. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated thiamine and established acceptable daily intakes. At typical intake levels found in fortified foods, it is considered safe and beneficial.

Allergen info

Thiamine hydrochloride is not one of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
