Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1, also known as Thiamin, plays a very important role in cell energy metabolism, by helping turn the food you eat into the energy you need. This makes thiamin vital in the overall proper function, development & growth of your cells.

‍

Thiamin is naturally occurring in some foods, but can also be added to other foods (i.e. thiamine ‘fortified’). Thiamin can also be taken in the form of a supplement. Natural sources of thiamin include whole grains, meat and fish. Thiamin is also present in small amounts in fruits, vegetables & dairy products.

Because thiamin is a water-soluble vitamin, we need a continuous intake of it to maintain healthy levels in our bodies. Only small amounts are stored in the liver, and any excess thiamin is excreted in urine.
