*Values obtained from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

**The % DV is the percentage of the recommended daily intake (RDI) that each food/supplement contains. The RDI (1–1.5 mg) is determined based on the estimated average requirement of thiamine in that only a small percentage (approximately 2 to 3%) of individuals may experience deficiency [2].
