What it is

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

Why it's used

Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to foods as a nutrient supplement, primarily to fortify grain products like bread and cereals. It helps restore thiamine levels lost during food processing. It is commonly found in baked goods, breakfast cereals, and pasta.

Health notes

Thiamine mononitrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (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. At typical levels found in fortified foods, it contributes to meeting daily thiamine requirements. There are no widespread controversies regarding its safety or use in food.

Allergen info

Thiamine mononitrate is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens and does not contain gluten.
