What it is

Thiamine mononitrate is a synthetic form of thiamine, which is vitamin B1. Thiamine is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in energy metabolism. It is produced industrially through chemical synthesis.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to foods as a nutrient supplement, often to fortify products like cereals, bread, and pasta. It helps restore nutrients lost during processing and ensures consumers get adequate B1 intake. It is commonly found in baked goods, breakfast cereals, and infant formulas.

Health notes

Thiamine mononitrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated thiamine mononitrate and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming thiamine mononitrate at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Thiamine mononitrate is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
