Product details & mandatory information
Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is a water-soluble vitamin from the vitamin B complex family. It plays an important role in numerous metabolic processes and supports the nervous system and collagen formation. As the body cannot store large amounts of vitamin B1, a regular supply is essential. Thiamine is sensitive to heat and UV radiation, so care should be taken to store and prepare it correctly.
Functions of vitamin B1
- Energy metabolism: Thiamine contributes significantly to energy production from nutrients and supports healing and growth processes as well as cell functions and muscle activity.
- Collagen formation: Thiamine is involved in the formation of collagen, a protein that is necessary for healthy skin, hair, bones, ligaments and cartilage. A deficiency can delay wound healing.
- Nervous system: Thiamine is found in the cell membranes of nerve cells and plays a central role in the transmission of information between the nerves and the brain. It also supports the production of serotonin, the so-called happiness hormone, and promotes cognitive abilities and mental alertness.

Causes and symptoms of a vitamin B1 deficiency
As vitamin B1 is water-soluble, it is quickly excreted by the body via the kidneys. A deficiency can occur within two weeks if the intake is insufficient. Causes of a deficiency can include insufficient vitamin intake, certain medications, alcohol abuse, stress, smoking or pregnancy. Symptoms of a deficiency include mental and physical performance deficits such as confusion, poor concentration, headaches and gait problems.
