Which vitamins and minerals is the bar fortified with, and what are they for? — Gluten-Free Amaranth Bar with Coconut Filling and Glaze, Enriched with Vitamins, 20 g

Besides its taste, the bar is additionally fortified with vitamins and minerals. The ingredients list includes:

• B vitamins
• Vitamin C
• Folic acid
• Iron

Put simply, these nutrients are involved in metabolism and help the body use the energy it gets from food. Adding them means that this sweet snack offers a little more nutritional value than an ordinary unfortified sweet.

The product may be useful during busy periods, when meals are irregular or the menu is monotonous, as a small addition to the diet. It is important to understand, though, that the bar does not replace a proper meal and is not a source that fully covers the daily requirement for these nutrients. It is regarded as a more thoughtfully made option among sweets, not as a supplement. If you take vitamin and mineral supplements or medicines, are pregnant, breastfeeding or have chronic conditions, discuss additional intake of vitamins and minerals with a specialist.
