Vitamin B1 is a coenzyme that is involved
in our metabolic
processes, converting carbohydrates such as glucose into
energy for the body. Its presence is essential in helping to
maintain the proper functioning of our nerves, muscles, the
heart and the brain. Individuals that regularly consume high
levels of refined carbohydrates (refined sugar and white flour
products, etc.) should supplemental their intake of thiamine
to ensure their bodies efficiently process excess carbs.

1.5 mg
The amount of vitamins and minerals as set by the RDA only provides
us with the bare minimum required to ward off common vitamin
deficiency diseases such as beriberi, rickets, scurvy and night
blindness. Water soluble vitamins, such as vitamin
C, B and folic
acid, must be replenished daily and have been shown to exhibit
numerous positive health effects when taken in amounts that
are greater than the recommended daily allowance.
To obtain the full health
benefits of vitamin B1 we recommend taking a high absorption
liquid
multivitamin supplement that provides 15-30 mg of thiamin
per day.
Thiamin is water soluble and excesses are easily excreted by
the body, however, long-term supplementation of amounts greater
than 3 grams per day have been reported to cause toxicity.
- If you are pregnant or nursing do not take any form of vitamin
supplement unless you have discussed its use with your doctor.
