Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - The atmosphere Booster Vitamin

good morning pill - Vitamin B1 is recognized as the "mood-booster" vitamin due to its dramatic effect on our nervous system and our mood. Besides supporting the central nervous system, vitamin B1 helps with carbohydrate metabolism, boosts our disease fighting capability, wards off mosquitoes, helps develop red blood cells, maintains muscle mass, promotes growth in children so helping control motion sickness. A synthetic version of vitamin B1 is included with white flour in in order to ward off beriberi, but it is better to consume the natural form, found in abundance in whole grains. Because thiamine helps with carbohydrate metabolism, additionally, it makes energy available for the body, including the brain. So if you are not getting enough thiamine, you might not be feeding your brain enough glucose for it to think well.

Extra Thiamine Requirements

mood supplement for morning - In case you are pregnant or nursing, use oral contraceptives, cigarettes or diuretics, you will require more vitamin B1. Individuals with diets high in refined foods, a lot of sugar and junk foods and/or alcohol will also have higher requirements for thiamine. Last, however, not least, heavy metal pollutants like mercury and stress likewise use up thiamine in the body and definately will increase your need for it. B vitamins are used in detoxifying the body, and if you are exposed to more toxins, you will need more of the B vitamins overall.

Insufficient thiamine been specifically linked to mood changes, disorderly thinking, fear and feelings of uneasiness -- all indications of mental depression that may often affect memory too. Beriberi is a disease that can develop from a severe scarcity of B1, and is characterized by weakness, limb swelling and heart enlargement. It affects the nervous, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular systems, but is rare in america today because of the synthetic B1 additive in white flour.

Food Sources of Vitamin B1

Even if you get enough vitamin B1 to reduce the chances of beriberi, many of us do not get the optimum amount, especially as a result of all the stress we are under, both physically and emotionally. Some of the best sources of Vitamin B1 are nutritional yeast, liver and grain like whole wheat, brown rice, oatmeal and rice bran. However, other foods like watermelon, asparagus, fresh peas, pork, ham and beef, legumes, seeds and nuts like sesame seeds may also be good sources of Vitamin B1.

Also, if your gut is healthy, and has a preponderance of fine bacteria (probiotics), it will be making B vitamins. However, many of us took antibiotics over the years who have lowered the amount of good bacteria, so unless you have taken steps to beat that, like with large amounts of probiotics, either in supplement form or with cultured vegetables or lacto-fermented beverages, you probably aren't making all of the B vitamins your body needs.

In case you Supplement with Vitamin B1?

good mood in the morning - If you have a healthy gut with no Vitamin B deficiency symptoms, and you eat a lot of the foods containing B vitamins, you might not need to supplement. However, the majority of us are under enough stress and still have eaten a lot of refined foods that have stripped B vitamins from your bodies, and so vitamin B supplementation can be beneficial. However, unless know you've got a big Vitamin B1 deficiency and so are taking only B1 for any specific purpose and certain period of time under the care of a fitness care practitioner, we do not recommend supplementing only with Vitamin B1. Every one of the B vitamins work in conjunction with each other, and often supplementing with simply 1 or 2 of them may cause other B Vitamin imbalances. We advise adding a whole food supplement containing the B Complex vitamins, such as nutritional yeast and/or whole food based Vitamin b. These are very hard to find, but it's worth it to your body to use food-based vitamin B, in our opinion. It can take 6 months to 1 year to replenish your own body's supply of B vitamins, so supplementing can really help you to catch up.
