A hypothetical distribution of thiamine intakes in women of reproductive age before and after fortification. The target intake for thiamine was set at 1.2 mg, the estimated average requirement (EAR) for pregnant/lactating women. In panel A (prefortification), 30% of women are below the EAR and the median thiamine intake is 1.8 mg/day. In panel B (postfortification), only 2.5% of women are below the EAR, and the median intake is 2.5 mg/day. Adapted from Ref. 60.
