Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1, or thiamin, helps prevent complications in the nervous system, brain, muscles, heart, stomach, and intestines. It is also involved in the flow of electrolytes into and out of muscle and nerve cells.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is a water-soluble vitamin that quickly deteriorates during heat treatment and upon contact with an alkaline medium.   Thiamine is involved in the most important metabolic processes of the body (protein, fat and water-salt).   It normalizes the activity of the digestive, cardiovascular and nervous systems.   Vitamin B1 stimulates brain activity and blood formation and also affects blood circulation.   Receiving thiamine improves appetite, tones the intestines and heart muscle.

This vitamin is necessary for pregnant and lactating mothers, athletes, people engaged in physical work.   Also, seriously ill patients need thiamine and those who have had a long-term illness, as the drug activates the work of all internal organs and restores the body’s defenses.   Vitamin B1 pays special attention to the elderly, as they have a markedly reduced ability to assimilate any vitamins and the function of their synthesis is atrophied.   Thiamine prevents the occurrence of neuritis, polyneuritis, and peripheral paralysis.   Vitamin B1 is recommended to take with skin diseases of a nervous nature.   Additional doses of thiamine improve brain activity, increase the ability to absorb information, relieve depression and help get rid of a number of other mental illnesses.

Thiamine improves brain function, memory, attention, thinking, normalizes mood, increases learning ability, stimulates the growth of bones and muscles, normalizes appetite, slows down the aging process, reduces the negative effects of alcohol and tobacco, maintains muscle tone in the digestive tract, eliminates seasickness and relieves motion sickness, maintains tone and normal functioning of the heart muscle, reduces toothache.

Thiamine in the human body provides carbohydrate metabolism in the brain, tissues, liver.  Vitamin coenzyme fights the so-called “fatigue toxins” – lactic, pyruvic acid.  Their excess leads to lack of energy, overwork, lack of vitality.  The negative effect of carbohydrate metabolism products neutralizes carboxylase, turning them into glucose which nourishes the brain cells.  Given the above, thiamin can be called a vitamin of “pep”, “optimism” because it improves mood, removes depression, soothes nerves, and returns appetite.
