Vitamin B1 (thiamine) has many different functions in our body. It plays a particularly important role in energy production and the transmission of nerve impulses between our nerve cells and muscles. High concentrations are found in particular in the heart, brain, liver, kidneys and skeletal muscles .

Effects of vitamin B1 (thiamine)

Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is one of the first vitamins to have been discovered. It plays a role in energy production from carbohydrates and is essential for the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids. As such, it supports the functioning of our heart muscle, our brain and our skeletal muscles.
In the nervous system, thiamine supports the transmission of signals between nerves and muscles, as well as between the nerve cells in our brain. This ensures good coordination of our movements and a good reaction time. Furthermore, vitamin B1 can regenerate damaged nerve cells and support the growth of nerve fibres. The muscle tone of our digestive system also depends on vitamin B1, meaning that it indirectly aids digestion.

Vitamin B1 influences the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It therefore helps to lift the mood and can have a calming effect during times of stress.

Vitamin B1 deficiency – causes and symptoms

Our diet contains only small amounts of vitamin B1, mainly in meat, wholemeal products, pulses and vegetables. As thiamine can only be stored to a limited extent and has a high turnover rate, a targeted external intake is recommended when there is an increased requirement. For example, during physical exertion (sport, strenuous physical work), during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in cases of stress, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption or illnesses associated with fever that are particularly debilitating.
Many people also suffer from a hidden vitamin B1 deficiency due to the modern diet. Almost all foods available in shops contain sugar. This not only leads to weight problems; sugar is also a major depletor of vitamin B1.
A thiamine deficiency can manifest as tiredness, sleep disturbances, irritability and muscle weakness.
