Vitamins

Vitamin AVitamin AFunctionVitamin A supports vision, skin, and immune function. It comes preformed from animal foods or as carotenoids that the body converts as needed.Top food sources of Vitamin A →10.6 / 900 µg1%
Thiamin (B1)Thiamin (B1)FunctionThiamin, also known as vitamin B1, helps convert carbohydrates into usable energy, which supports steady energy through the day. It also plays a role in nerve function.Top food sources of Thiamin (B1) →0.078 / 1.2 mg7%
Riboflavin (B2)Riboflavin (B2)FunctionRiboflavin, or vitamin B2, helps the body turn food into energy and supports healthy skin and eyes. It works alongside the other B vitamins in energy metabolism.Top food sources of Riboflavin (B2) →0.104 / 1.3 mg8%

Vitamins

Vitamin AVitamin AFunctionVitamin A supports vision, skin, and immune function. It comes preformed from animal foods or as carotenoids that the body converts as needed.Top food sources of Vitamin A →114 / 900 µg13%
Thiamin (B1)Thiamin (B1)FunctionThiamin, also known as vitamin B1, helps convert carbohydrates into usable energy, which supports steady energy through the day. It also plays a role in nerve function.Top food sources of Thiamin (B1) →0.05 / 1.2 mg4%
Riboflavin (B2)Riboflavin (B2)FunctionRiboflavin, or vitamin B2, helps the body turn food into energy and supports healthy skin and eyes. It works alongside the other B vitamins in energy metabolism.Top food sources of Riboflavin (B2) →0.43 / 1.3 mg33%
Niacin (B3)Niacin (B3)FunctionNiacin, or vitamin B3, is central to energy production in nearly every cell and supports steady glucose response as part of that metabolic machinery.Top food sources of Niacin (B3) →0.13 / 16 mg1%
