B vitamins play a crucial role in helping your body to function properly and Marmite, along with other foods, is a good source of these important nutrients. B vitamins are water soluble, which means that they are harder for your body to store so you need to get them from your food regularly.

Thiamins & Riboflavin: Both help you make use of the energy and nutrients in your food. In doing this, for example, they can help keep your skin looking healthy. Thiamin is found in breads and cereals, as well as pork, soya beans and peas; Riboflavin is present in cereals, milk and eggs. It's one of the vitamins that pregnant women need a little bit more of, as it helps with growing babies' development.

Niacin: This helps your body's cells to function properly and make use of other nutrients in your diet. It is found in cereals, vegetables, fish, eggs and milk.

Folic Acid: This is very important before and during pregnancy as it plays a vital role in the development of unborn babies and may help your blood and heart. It is found in green vegetables, peas and nuts, but your body also makes good use of the folic acid that is added to foods like Marmite.

Vitamin B12: This helps maintain your red blood cells. It is found mainly in animal products like meat, eggs and fish, so vegetarians need to look for alternative supplies of B12, like Marmite.

Salt is an essential part of our diet but only small amounts are required. Marmite spread contains salt, and this is something you should be aware of - particularly if you are following a restricted salt or low sodium diet.

We recommend sticking to the suggested serving size of 4g for adults and 2g for children. This is roughly the amount to cover the tip of a knife and provides 8.5% of the recommended guideline amount of salt for adults.
