Vitamin B1 (thiamine) - What it is, effects and intake
In the following, you will learn everything important about vitamin B1. Among other things, how much you should take, for what vitamin B1 is needed in the body, which foods belong to the vitamin B1 suppliers and what deficiency symptoms can occur.
What is vitamin B1 (thiamine)?
Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is a water-soluble vitamin that is particularly important for energy metabolism. More specifically, the body needs it for energy production from carbohydrates. It is also involved in amino acid metabolism and is essential for the nervous system.
What is vitamin B1 good for?
Vitamin B1 is involved in various processes in the body. Strong nerves, a clear head and more balance are just a few benefits of an adequate B1 supply. The B vitamin is particularly important for the central nervous system. It plays a decisive role in regeneration after illness or trauma. Together with vitamin B6, it is used to treat nervous system diseases. Together, both vitamins are said to have a particularly good effect. They influence various metabolic reactions, can repair damaged nerve fibres, and have a pain-relieving effect.
According to studies, B1 has even been shown to have a soothing effect on PMS symptoms.

Deficiency symptoms
If there is an insufficient supply of the B vitamin, various deficiency signs or symptoms can occur. These include:
- Loss of appetite
- Sleep problems and fatigue
- Nausea
- Weight loss
- Muscle weakness & pain
- Paralysis
- Memory problems
- Cardiovascular system failure
- Mental problems such as depression, anxiety or irritability
Food with thiamine
B1 is present in both animal and plant foods and can thus also be sufficiently absorbed as a vegan/vegetarian.
Foods with vitamin B1 include sunflower seeds, pine nuts, oatmeal, whole grain products, soybeans, legumes, potatoes, and even peanuts.
Our new Keepin' It Calm Vitamins with Ashwagandha contain an additional B-complex of vitamins B1 and B2. They thus contribute to normal functioning of the nervous system, as well as reduce fatigue.
NASSIM JAMALZADEH:
"Vitamin B1 or thiamine is not only important for the immune system but is also involved in many important processes in the body. Above all, vitamin B1 plays an essential role for the nervous system, so it should definitely not be missing from the diet."

At my age (I’m 67), maintaining good heart health is a top priority. I’ve been taking Make My Heart Beet for about a month now, and I must say, I feel more supported in my daily well-being. It’s comforting to know I’m doing something small yet meaningful every day for my heart. I’ll continue with this routine, and I’m glad to have found a vegan supplement that fits seamlessly into my life.

My experience
The Snack Smart bears really help curb my afternoon cravings – I feel more in control without needing extra snacks. And the Ah-mazing Hair gummies? My hair feels stronger, shinier, and just healthier overall.

Great taste – and it really helps with cravings!
I’ve been taking the Snack Smart Appetite Control gummies for a few weeks now and I’m honestly impressed! The apple flavour is super tasty, and I love that they’re vegan free.
I take 2 bears a day, as suggested, and I’ve noticed that my cravings between meals have definitely decreased. I feel more in control, especially in the afternoon when I used to snack the most.

The bloat is gone!
I've been using these for just over a month now and will rave about them to anyone! I usually suffer with awful bloating and cramps and after 2 weeks of using these little bears that has practically gone! I finally like how I look and feel again and don't have to worry about going out for food with friends! They are also really tasty!

Amazing results
I’ve been using these gummies for a few weeks now, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! From the very first few days, I noticed a significant boost in my energy levels without the jitters or crashes I usually get from other metabolism-boosting supplements

Perfect!
After 2 weeks I started to feel positive changes. They are tasty and I am enjoying them.

I have a very fair complexion and have observed a slight improvement in my skin tone since using these products. While the change is not substantial, it is sufficient for me to feel pleased and self-assured without the need for artificial tanning. Additionally, they have a pleasant taste.
