Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - The atmosphere Booster Vitamin

good morning pill - Vitamin B1 is known as the "mood-booster" vitamin because of its dramatic effect on our nerves and our mood. Besides supporting the nervous system, vitamin B1 helps with carbohydrate metabolism, boosts our defense mechanisms, 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 added to white flour in so that you can ward off beriberi, but it is easier to consume the natural form, found in abundance in whole grains. Because thiamine aids in carbohydrate metabolism, in addition, it makes energy available for the body, including the brain. So if you feel not getting enough thiamine, you may not be feeding the human brain enough glucose for it to think well.

Extra Thiamine Requirements

morning mood - In case you are pregnant or nursing, use birth control pills, cigarettes or diuretics, you will need more vitamin B1. Individuals with diets high in refined foods, an excessive amount of sugar and fast foods and/or alcohol will also have higher requirements for thiamine. Last, but 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 our bodies, and if you are exposed to more toxins, you will need more of the B vitamins overall.

Deficiency Symptoms of Vitamin B1

Fatigue and insomnia, bad memory, poor brain function and muscle coordination, headaches, weakness and confusion are typical symptoms of Vitamin B1 deficiency. Insufficient thiamine has also been linked to mood changes, disorderly thinking, fear and feelings of uneasiness -- all indications of mental depression that will often affect memory also. Beriberi is a disease that can get from a severe lack of B1, and is seen as a weakness, limb swelling and heart enlargement. It affects the nervous, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular systems, but is rare in the usa today because of the synthetic B1 additive in white flour.

Food Sources of Vitamin B1

While you might get enough vitamin B1 to ward off beriberi, many of us do not get the optimum amount, especially due to all the stress we are under, both emotionally and physically. 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, nuts and seeds like sesame seeds may also be good sources of Vitamin B1.

Also, if your gut is healthy, and possesses a preponderance of good bacteria (probiotics), it will be making Vitamin b. However, many of us have got antibiotics over the years which have lowered the amount of good bacteria, so until you have taken steps to overcome that, like with considerable amounts of probiotics, either in supplement form or with cultured vegetables or lacto-fermented beverages, you almost certainly aren't making all the B vitamins your body needs.

In case you Supplement with Vitamin B1?

vitamins in the morning - If you have a healthy gut and no Vitamin B deficiency symptoms, and you also eat a lot of the foods containing B vitamins, you might not need to supplement. However, many of us are under enough stress and also have eaten a lot of refined foods that have stripped B vitamins from my bodies, and so vitamin b complex supplementation can be beneficial. However, unless know you've got a big Vitamin B1 deficiency and are taking only B1 to get a specific purpose and certain amount of time under the care of a fitness care practitioner, we do not recommend supplementing only with Vitamin B1. All 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 recommend 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 is worth it to your body to use food-based vitamin B, in our opinion. It will take 6 months to 1 year to replenish your supply of B vitamins, so supplementing can really help you to catch up.
