Vitamin B1

What is Vitamin B1?

Known as thiamine (the “energy nutrient"), vitamin B1 is responsible for many cellular interactions in the body. The most important may be aerobic energy production -- in which your cells use oxygen to convert carbohydrates and other sugars into energy. Without adequate levels of vitamin B1, this process would slow or stop altogether.

This important nutrient also plays a key role in supporting the nervous system and protecting your nerves from degeneration and damage. Vitamin B1 helps your organs and nerves relay messages to one another, such as when your brain tells your leg muscle to twitch.
