Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - The climate Booster Vitamin

morning supplement - Vitamin B1 is called the "mood-booster" vitamin because of its dramatic effect on our nerves and our mood. Besides supporting the central nervous system, 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 and helps 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, present in abundance in whole grains. Because thiamine supports carbohydrate metabolism, in addition, it makes energy designed for the body, including the brain. So if you are not getting enough thiamine, you might not be feeding your brain enough glucose because of it to think well.

Extra Thiamine Requirements

morning vitamins - If you are pregnant or nursing, use oral contraceptives, cigarettes or diuretics, you'll need more vitamin B1. People that have diets high in refined foods, an excessive amount of sugar and junk food and/or alcohol will also have higher requirements for thiamine. Last, although not least, heavy metal pollutants like mercury and stress also 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'll need more of the B vitamins overall.

Deficiency The signs of Vitamin B1

Fatigue and insomnia, bad memory, poor thinking processes and muscle coordination, headaches, weakness and confusion are symptoms of Vitamin B1 deficiency. Insufficient thiamine been specifically linked to mood changes, disorderly thinking, fear and feelings of uneasiness -- all signs of mental depression that can often affect memory as well. Beriberi is a disease that can develop from a severe deficiency of B1, and is characterized by 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 Reasons for Vitamin B1

Even if you 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 are under, both emotionally and physically. Some of the best sources of Vitamin B1 are nutritional yeast, liver and whole grains 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 the gut is healthy, and it has a preponderance of good bacteria (probiotics), it will be making Vitamin b. However, many of us took antibiotics over the years who have lowered the amount of good bacteria, so if you don't 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 the B vitamins your body needs.

In case you Supplement with Vitamin B1?

good morning pill - When you have a healthy gut 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 still have eaten a lot of refined foods that have stripped B vitamins from our bodies, and so b vitamin supplementation can be beneficial. However, unless know there is a big Vitamin B1 deficiency and are taking only B1 for any 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 of the B vitamins work in addition to each other, and often supplementing with simply 1 or 2 of them can 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 Vitamin b. These are very hard to find, but it's 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 body's supply of B vitamins, so supplementing can help you to catch up.
