Vitamin B1, 120 capsules

For nerves, muscles, the heart and a balanced psyche

Vitamin B1 (thiamin) has many different roles in our body. Its role in energy production and in the transmission of impulses between our nerve cells and muscles is particularly important. High concentrations can be detected especially in the heart, brain, liver, kidneys and skeletal muscles.

Effects of Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)

Vitamin B1, also called thiamin, is one of the first vitamins to be discovered. It is involved in the production of energy from carbohydrates and is indispensable for the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids. As a result, it promotes the performance of our heart muscle, our brain and our skeletal muscles.
In the nervous system thiamin supports the transmission of impulses between nerves and muscles as well as between the nerve cells in our brain. This ensures good coordination of our movements and good responsiveness. In addition, 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, so it indirectly promotes digestion.

Vitamin B1 influences the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Therefore it has a mood-enhancing effect and can have a calming effect under stress.

Vitamin B1 deficiency – causes and symptoms

Only small amounts of vitamin B1 are present in our food, mainly in meat, wholegrain products, legumes and vegetables. Since thiamin can only be stored to a limited extent and has a high turnover rate, a targeted external supply is advisable when demand is increased. For example during physical exertion (sport, heavy physical labour), in pregnancy and breastfeeding, under stress, smoking, excessive alcohol or illnesses that involve fever and are very taxing.
Many people also suffer from a hidden vitamin B1 deficiency due to modern diets. Almost all foodstuffs offered commercially contain sugar. This not only leads to weight problems; sugar also strongly depletes vitamin B1.
Thiamin deficiency can manifest as fatigue, sleep disturbances, irritability and muscle weakness.
