MEASURED NUTRIENT ROLES
Top nutrients that support the body
For 100 g, the strongest Daily Value contributions among nutrients available in this record are Selenium (26.5% DV), Riboflavin (B2) (18% DV) and Vitamin B12 (17.5% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.
Selenium: thyroid and antioxidant defense
This amount provides 14.6 µg. Selenium supports thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA synthesis and protection from oxidative damage. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceRiboflavin (B2): energy and cell growth
This amount provides 0.23 mg. Riboflavin helps convert food into energy and supports cell growth, development and function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceVitamin B12: blood cells and nerves
This amount provides 0.42 µg. Vitamin B12 supports healthy blood cells, DNA synthesis and normal nervous-system function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referencePhosphorus: bones and cellular energy
This amount provides 148 mg. Phosphorus helps form bones and teeth and is involved in energy production and cell membranes. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referencePantothenic acid (B5): fatty-acid and energy metabolism
This amount provides 0.51 mg. Pantothenic acid is needed to make coenzyme A, which is central to fatty-acid and energy metabolism. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Selenium
This amount provides 14.6 µg. Selenium supports thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA synthesis and protection from oxidative damage. This is a measured nutrient contribution, not proof that the food prevents or treats disease.
