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 manufactured 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 vitamin B1 intake from their diet.

Health notes

In the U.S., thiamine mononitrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. Thiamine is vital for nerve function and energy production. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated thiamine and established acceptable daily intake levels, though specific values are not provided here. There is no widespread controversy regarding its use at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Thiamine mononitrate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
