Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - The atmosphere Booster Vitamin

supplements for the morning - Vitamin B1 is known as the "mood-booster" vitamin due to its dramatic effect on our nervous system and our mood. Besides supporting the nerves, vitamin B1 supports carbohydrate metabolism, boosts our disease fighting capability, wards off mosquitoes, helps develop red blood cells, maintains muscle tissues, promotes growth in children helping control motion sickness. A synthetic version of vitamin B1 is included with white flour in so that you can ward off beriberi, but it is easier to consume the natural form, present in abundance in whole grains. Because thiamine supports carbohydrate metabolism, it also makes energy readily available for the body, including the brain. So if you are not getting enough thiamine, you may not be feeding the human brain enough glucose for this to think well.

Extra Thiamine Requirements

morning and vitamins - In case you are pregnant or nursing, use oral contraceptives, cigarettes or diuretics, you will need more vitamin B1. People that have diets high in refined foods, a lot of sugar and junk 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 can increase your need for it. Vitamin b are used in detoxifying our bodies, and if you are exposed to more toxins, you'll 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 all symptoms of Vitamin B1 deficiency. Insufficient thiamine has also been linked to mood changes, disorderly thinking, fear and feelings of uneasiness -- all signs and symptoms of mental depression that will often affect memory also. Beriberi is a disease that can be cultivated from a severe scarcity 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 US today because of the synthetic B1 additive in white flour.

Food Causes of Vitamin B1

Although you may get enough vitamin B1 to defend against beriberi, many of us do not get the optimum amount, especially as a result of all the stress we're under, both emotionally and physically. Some of the best sources of Vitamin B1 are nutritional yeast, liver and whole grain products 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 will also be good sources of Vitamin B1.

Also, if the 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 that have lowered the amount of good bacteria, so unless you have taken steps to get over that, like with large amounts of probiotics, either in supplement form or with cultured vegetables or lacto-fermented beverages, you almost certainly aren't making all of the B vitamins your body needs.

Should You Supplement with Vitamin B1?

morning mood - If you have a healthy gut with no Vitamin B deficiency symptoms, and also you eat a lot of the foods containing Vitamin b, you might not need to supplement. However, most of us are under enough stress and possess eaten a lot of refined foods which have stripped B vitamins from our bodies, and so vitamin B supplementation can be beneficial. However, unless know you have a big Vitamin B1 deficiency and therefore are taking only B1 for a specific purpose and certain amount of time under the care of any adverse health 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 just 1 or 2 of them may cause other B Vitamin imbalances. We recommend adding a whole food supplement containing the B Complex vitamins, for example nutritional yeast and/or whole food based B vitamins. These are very hard to find, however it is worth it to your body to make use of 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 help you to catch up.
