Along with the other vitamin B complex vitamins are used by our body in processing carbohydrates, fat and proteins necessary for proper circulation on most of our internal systems.

It helps digest carbohydrates more effectively. Besides that, Vitamin B1 has also been proven to promote positive mental attitudes including fighting car or seasicknesses in some studies. Dentists use vitamin B1 as relief to tooth and gum pain after surgery.
Still, one must remember that it is better to have all of the vitamin B complex working together than taking them in separately. They all work hand in hand with one another in all functions so an equal amount of every vitamin B complex is more prescribed.
B1 can be found in an assortment of so many foods, this includes nuts and grains such as oatmeal, peanuts, and whole wheat. It is also found in pork products, dried yeast, milk and bran muffins.
With this knowledge, you now know what to have when suspecting that you lack vitamin B. A few of the symptoms that states vitamin B1 deficiency are having irregular heartbeat, experiencing fatigue including Chronic Fatigue syndrome, and digestion problems.
For more information, this means that if you're suffering from anorexia, beriberi, enlarged heart, mental confusion, peripheral paralysis, tachycardia, and weakness this means that you need more B1.
Naturally like all other vitamins, the body declines B1 levels, as you get older with or without any special medical conditions. However, other than old age, a few of those suffering from vitamin B1 deficiency comprise of alcoholics, individuals with malabsorption conditions, and those with very poor diets.
This is also common in children with congenital heart diseases. If one is undergoing kidney dialysis, you are also prone to experience this B1 deficiency so it is recommended that you discuss this with your doctor so they may require you B1 supplements.
To be able to get the most out of vitamin B1 you should avoid caffeine, alcohol, and the way you cook your food because too much heat can deplete the amount of the vitamins being taken in.
B1 is often used and prescribed in connection with a few conditions such as anemia, alzheimer's disease, canker sores, diabetes, hepatitis, cardiomyopathy, dysmenorrhea, fibromyalgia, HIV support, multiple sclerosis and pre- and post- surgery health.
The right amount that should be taken in daily is 9mg per day. Most vitamin supplements contain 20-25 mg, meaning it is more than the adequate dosage needed for most people. Anyway, B1 is nontoxic even when taken in high amounts. However, vitamin B1 works hand in hand with vitamin B2 and vitamin B3 so it still highly recommended that you take the whole B complex vitamin supplement for better results.
