  • Niacin – beneficial · Synthetic vitamin B3 added to replace nutrients lost during processing, supports energy metabolism and nervous system function.
  • Reduced Iron – safe · Iron fortification to replace mineral content lost during degermination process, supports blood health and oxygen transport.
  • Thiamin Mononitrate – safe · Synthetic vitamin B1 fortification, essential for carbohydrate metabolism and nervous system function.
  • Riboflavin – safe · Vitamin B2 fortification added back after processing, supports energy production and cellular function.
  • Folic Acid – safe · Synthetic folate fortification required by FDA for refined grains, supports DNA synthesis and prevents birth defects.
