Thiamine mononitrateNeutral
Thiamine mononitrate is a form of vitamin B1 used in food fortification. It is essential for carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function. Fortification helps prevent thiamine deficiency, which can lead to beriberi.
Benefits
Essential for energy metabolism and nerve function, helping to prevent deficiency-related diseases.
Folic acidNeutral
Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate used in food fortification to prevent neural tube defects. It is crucial for DNA synthesis and cell division. Fortification has significantly reduced the incidence of birth defects.
Risks
Excessive intake can mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but this is rare with normal dietary consumption.
