Ferrous SulfateNeutral
Ferrous sulfate is an iron supplement added to enriched foods to prevent iron deficiency. It is a common fortification in grain products. Iron is essential for oxygen transport in the blood.
Risks
Excessive iron intake can lead to toxicity, but this is rare from fortified foods alone.
Benefits
Helps prevent iron deficiency anemia and supports healthy blood function.
Thiamin MononitrateNeutral
Thiamin mononitrate is a form of vitamin B1 used to enrich flour. It is essential for energy metabolism and nerve function. Enrichment helps restore nutrients lost during flour processing.
Benefits
Supports energy production and nerve health as part of the B-vitamin complex.
Folic AcidNeutral
Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, a B-vitamin added to enriched foods to prevent neural tube defects. It is crucial for DNA synthesis and cell division. Enrichment helps ensure adequate intake in the population.
