Thiamine Mononitrate
NutrientThiamine mononitrate is a synthetic form of vitamin B1 (thiamine) used as a nutrient supplement in fortified foods and beverages. It serves as an essential micronutrient to prevent deficiency diseases and support metabolic function.
Vitamin A
NutrientVitamin A is an essential fat-soluble nutrient added to foods to prevent deficiency and support human health. It is widely used in fortification programs for dairy products, cereals, and supplements, with no reported adverse events or recalls in FDA databases.
Vitamin A Acetate
NutrientVitamin A Acetate is a synthetic form of vitamin A used as a nutrient supplement in food and beverages. It serves as a fortification ingredient to increase the vitamin A content of products, supporting normal vision, immune function, and skin health.
Vitamin B Complex And Syrup
NutrientVitamin B Complex and Syrup is a nutrient supplement formulation combining B vitamins with a syrup base, used to fortify food and beverage products. It provides essential B vitamins including thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and other B vitamins that support energy metabolism and cellular function.
Vitamin B-12
NutrientVitamin B-12 (cobalamin) is an essential water-soluble vitamin naturally found in animal products and used as a nutrient supplement in fortified foods and beverages. It plays a critical role in red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, and nervous system function.
Vitamin D
NutrientVitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient that functions as both a vitamin and hormone in the body. It is commonly added to foods such as milk, cereals, and fortified beverages to help consumers meet daily nutritional requirements and support bone health.
Vitamin D-2
NutrientVitamin D-2 (ergocalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin produced from ergosterol found in fungi and plants. It is added to foods as a nutrient supplement to prevent deficiency and support bone health and calcium absorption.
Vitamin D-3
NutrientVitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble nutrient naturally produced in skin when exposed to sunlight and obtained from animal-based food sources. It is added to foods as a nutritional fortification to support calcium absorption and bone health.
Vitamin D<sub>2</sub> Mushroom Powder
NutrientVitamin D2 Mushroom Powder is a plant-based nutrient derived from mushrooms that have been exposed to ultraviolet light, converting ergosterol into vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). It is used as a fortification ingredient to increase vitamin D content in food products, particularly in plant-based and vegetarian formulations.
Vitamin K
NutrientVitamin K is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that serves critical roles in blood coagulation and bone metabolism. It is added to foods as a nutritional fortification agent to help consumers meet their daily dietary requirements.
Yeast, Dried Irradiated
NutrientYeast, Dried Irradiated is a nutrient supplement derived from dried yeast that has been treated with ionizing radiation to reduce microbial contamination. It is used in food products to provide B vitamins, proteins, and other essential nutrients.
Zinc Carbonate
NutrientZinc carbonate is an inorganic compound used as a nutrient supplement in food products to fortify them with zinc, an essential mineral for immune function and metabolic health. It appears in select fortified foods and dietary supplements where zinc enrichment is desired.
Zinc Chloride
NutrientZinc chloride is an inorganic compound used as a nutrient supplement in food products to provide bioavailable zinc. It serves as a fortification agent in various foods and beverages to address dietary zinc deficiency.
Zinc Dithionite
NutrientZinc dithionite is an inorganic compound used as a nutrient supplement to fortify foods with zinc, an essential mineral required for immune function, protein synthesis, and wound healing. It is added to select food products to help consumers meet their daily zinc requirements.
Zinc Gluconate
NutrientZinc gluconate is an organic zinc salt used as a nutrient supplement in fortified foods and beverages. It provides bioavailable zinc to help address nutritional deficiencies in the diet.
Zinc Methionine Sulfate
NutrientZinc methionine sulfate is an organic zinc compound that functions as a nutritional supplement in food and animal feed products. It provides bioavailable zinc, an essential mineral required for immune function, protein synthesis, and cellular metabolism.
Zinc Stearate
NutrientZinc stearate is a zinc salt of stearic acid used as a nutrient supplement in food products. It provides bioavailable zinc, an essential mineral important for immune function, wound healing, and protein synthesis.
Zinc Sulfate
NutrientZinc sulfate is an inorganic compound used as a nutrient supplement and processing aid in food production. It provides bioavailable zinc, an essential mineral required for immune function, protein synthesis, and enzymatic processes in the human body.
