BIENFAITS
Vitamin B1, or thiamine, offers various benefits for the body:
● Maintenance of the nervous system:
By intervening in the Krebs cycle, thiamine participates in the production of energy from carbohydrates, which are themselves primarily used by the brain and nervous system.
● Participates in muscle function:
The presence of vitamin B1 is essential for the proper functioning of all muscles in the body, which includes the muscles involved in digestion. Thus, vitamin B1 promotes digestion by stimulating the muscles of the digestive system.
● Energy production:
Vitamin B1 is converted into TPP or thiamine pyrophosphate in the liver; this is its active form. Thiamine pyrophosphate plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of metabolisms and certain enzymes. It notably participates in the conversion of sugars into energy, among other essential metabolic functions.
● Alcohol breakdown:
Thiamine plays a direct role in the process of breaking down alcohol molecules. This is why, in cases of chronic alcoholism, it is often recommended to take vitamin B1 supplements to facilitate withdrawal.

What are the natural dietary sources of vitamin B1?
The richest natural sources of vitamin B1 are brewer's yeast, raw fruits, cereal germs, but also animal products, particularly liver, kidneys, meat, dairy products, eggs... In cereals, thiamine is mainly present in the outer layers, which explains the occurrence of deficiencies in cases of excessive refining of flours and grains. Green vegetables provide little thiamine, and during cooking in water, it is degraded by heat. Intestinal bacteria can synthesize vitamin B1, but in insufficient quantities to meet needs.
What are the risks of vitamin B1 deficiency?
Since the body does not have vitamin B1 reserves, insufficient intake or poor assimilation, which can occur in the elderly, quickly leads to a deficiency. This gradually results in a decrease in appetite, fatigue, and weight loss.
Frank vitamin B1 deficiency is very common, and it can lead to disorders such as:
● The dry form results in neurological symptoms: gait disturbances, tingling, loss of balance.
