Ingredients:
Yeast (80%), Sugar, Salt, Mineral Salt (508), Wheat Maltodextrin, Colour (Caramel III), Herbs, Spices, Vitamins (Niacin, Riboflavin, Thiamin, Folate, B12), Mineral (Iron).
Thiamin, Riboflavin and Niacin
Marmite is a rich source Thiamin, Riboflavin and Niacin. These all have a key role to play in converting food to energy for your body to use. Thiamin (B1) also helps to keep your nervous system working properly. We need riboflavin (B2) for healthy skin and eyes and niacin (B3) for growth.
Folate
Marmite is a great source of Folate. Folate helps to form all body cells and may prevent neural tube defects in unborn children. This is especially important before and during pregnancy.
Vitamin B12
Marmite is a rich source of B12. Vitamin B12 is involved in making DNA and the formation of red blood cells. B12 is only found in animal products (e.g. meat, eggs, fish and dairy products) so vegetarians need to look for alternative supplies of B12, like Marmite. The B12 in Marmite is not made with animal products, it is a vegetarian product.
Iron
Marmite is a source of Iron. In your body iron becomes part of haemoglobin and myoglobin. Haemoglobin transports oxygen around the body in the blood and myoglobin helps your muscles to store oxygen. It's important for growing kids and is vital for brain development in infancy.
