Thiamine Mononitrate And Riboflavin

Thiamine mononitrate and riboflavin are forms of vitamin B1 and vitamin B2, respectively. Thiamine mononitrate is a synthetic form of thiamine, which is naturally found in many foods. Riboflavin is also known as vitamin B2 and is found naturally in foods like milk and eggs.

These vitamins are added to foods as nutrients to help fortify them, meaning they increase the nutritional value. They are commonly found in enriched grain products such as bread, pasta, and cereals, as well as in baked goods.

Thiamine mononitrate and riboflavin are essential vitamins for human health. The FDA considers them safe when used as nutrients in food. Both thiamine and riboflavin have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA, which is a joint FAO/WHO expert committee on food additives, and they have established acceptable daily intakes for these nutrients. At typical intake levels from fortified foods, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
