About Minerals About Vitamins About Lipids
MINERALS

• Iron’s most important role is to carry oxygen to cells in tissue and muscles. Men 19 to 50 need 8 mg of iron per day while women need substantially more (18 mg). The early signs of iron deficiency are anemia, fatigue, and a drop in productivity.
It is estimated that 3 out of 4 women do not get enough iron.
Eating one slice of Bon Matin Healthy Way Certified Organic 14 Grain Bread provides 6% of the recommended daily intake of iron. This bread is therefore a source of iron.

• Magnesium provides fuel for muscles, bones, teeth, nerves, and the heart. Certain drugs and overconsumption of alcohol can cause excessive loss of magnesium.
Bon Matin Healthy Way Certified Organic 14 Grain Bread is a source of magnesium. One slice provides 10% of the recommended daily intake.

• Zinc is mainly involved in fighting infections and the healing of wounds, and allows the fetus to develop and grow during pregnancy. It is found in Bon Matin Healthy Way Certified Organic 14 Grain Bread. One slice provides 8% of the recommended daily intake of zInc.
Zinc deficiency symptoms include growth retardation, hair loss, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and broken nails.

• Phosphorus is an essential mineral that helps form bones and teeth in the body. Phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium are the building blocks of bones. The body contains almost 700 g of phosphorus, about 85% of which is associated with the calcium in bones and teeth.
Bon Matin Healthy Way Certified Organic 14 Grain Bread is a source of phosphorus. One slice provides 8% of the recommended daily intake.
VITAMINS

Vitamins are substances the body requires in very small quantities to function properly, but does not produce itself.

• Folate or vitamin B9 helps the body produce healthy red blood cells and prevents certain birth defects. Enriched wheat flour is a source of folate.
Like iron deficiency, folate deficiency can also cause a certain type of anemia (megaloblastic anemia) and presents the same symptoms of fatigue and exhaustion.
It is recommended that women of child-bearing age and women who are pregnant or nursing take folate supplements. The same is recommended for smokers and frequent consumers of alcohol.
Bon Matin Healthy Way Certified Organic 14 Grain Bread is a source of folate, which means that one slice provides 8% of the recommended daily intake.

• Thiamine or vitamin B1 helps convert food into energy the body can use. Cereal brans provide a part of the thiamine the body needs. For example, one slice of Bon Matin Healthy Way Certified Organic 14 Grain Bread provides 6% of the recommended daily intake of thiamine.
The symptoms of severe thiamine deficiency include loss of appetite, muscle weakness, and extreme fatigue. It is important to note that women who are pregnant or nursing need more thiamine.

• Niacin or vitamin B3 plays a major role in tissue formation and is also essential for the production of hemoglobin, which carries iron and oxygen to cells. Niacin is found in whole grain cereals. One slice of Bon Matin Healthy Way Certified Organic 14 Grain Bread provides up to 10% of the recommended daily intake, which makes it a source of niacin.
LIPIDS
• Trans fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids artificially formed through hydrogenation, a process that transforms liquid oil into solid fat. They can increase the level of cholesterol in the blood, just like saturated fatty acids. Shortening, partially hydrogenated margarine, most cookies, crackers, and chips all contain trans fatty acids. Bon Matin Healthy Way Certified Organic 14 Grain Bread contains no trans fatty acids.

• Saturated fatty acids in foods are the main cause of higher cholesterol in the blood. These fatty acids are usually solid at room temperature and are found mainly in animal products, such as meat, certain oils (like coconut oil), and hydrogenated margarine.
