For healthy nerves and to prevent beriberi
Thiamine plays a central role in the production of energy from carbohydrates and proteins and is involved in the transmission of impulses in the nervous system.

Thiamine functions
- Energy metabolism: Thiamine plays a central role in the production of energy from fats and proteins.
- Nervous system: It plays an essential role in the functioning of nerve cells and in signal transmission in the nervous system.
Sources
Thiamine is found in numerous foods, for example:
- 100 % wholegrain products
- Legumes such as peas, seeds and nuts
- Muscle meat, especially pork
- Fish, such as tuna, and vegetables such as potatoes, asparagus and spinach
Deficiencies
Thiamine deficiency can cause neurological symptoms and metabolic disorders, such as the disease beriberi, which is characterised by muscle and heart weakness.
Aspects that can affect intake
- Gentle preparation: Due to thiamine's sensitivity to heat, oxygen and water, it is advisable to cook foods high in thiamine gently and to soak them as little as possible.
- Increased requirement: Thiamine requirements can be increased during pregnancy, breastfeeding, diabetes mellitus and chronic alcohol abuse.
