Vitamin B<sub>12</sub> is only available through artificial enrichment; riboflavin and folic acid are added on top of the naturally-occurring amount. The sodium content of the spread is high and has caused concern, although it is the amount per serving rather than the percentage in bulk Marmite that is relevant. The main ingredient of Marmite is yeast extract, which contains a high concentration of glutamic acid. Marmite is not gluten-free, as it is made with wheat, and although it is thoroughly washed, it may contain small quantities of gluten.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.marmite.co.uk/faq.html|title = FAQs}}</ref> (Sodium amount is noted as [[table salt]]-equivalent in UK nutritional labels. 6.1 g of salt corresponds to 2.4 g of sodium.) Marmite is [[Contraindication|contraindicated]] if a person takes a [[monoamine oxidase inhibitor]] antidepressant, such as [[phenelzine]] (Nardil) or [[tranylcypromine]] (Parnate), as yeast extracts interact adversely with these types of medications due to their [[tyramine]] content.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/expert-answers/maois/faq-20058035 |title=Depression (major depressive disorder) |first=Daniel K. |last=Hall-Flavin |website=[[Mayo Clinic]] |date=19 January 2016 |access-date=1 September 2016}}</ref>
