Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - The atmosphere Booster Vitamin

good morning supplement - Vitamin B1 is recognized as the "mood-booster" vitamin because of its dramatic effect on our nervous system and our mood. Besides supporting the central nervous system, vitamin B1 supports carbohydrate metabolism, boosts our immune system, wards off mosquitoes, helps develop red blood cells, maintains muscle tissues, promotes growth in children helping control motion sickness. A man-made version of vitamin B1 is included with white flour in in order to ward off beriberi, but it is easier to consume the natural form, seen in abundance in whole grains. Because thiamine helps with carbohydrate metabolism, additionally, it makes energy readily available for the body, including the brain. So if you feel not getting enough thiamine, you may not be feeding your mind enough glucose for it to think well.

Extra Thiamine Requirements

mood in the morning - In case you are pregnant or nursing, use birth control pills, cigarettes or diuretics, you'll 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, although 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 your 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 brain function 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 and symptoms of mental depression that may often affect memory as well. 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 US today because of the synthetic B1 additive in white flour.

Food Reasons for Vitamin B1

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

Also, in case your gut is healthy, and possesses a preponderance of fine 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 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 most likely aren't making all the B vitamins your body needs.

Should You Supplement with Vitamin B1?

morning and vitamins - If you have a healthy gut with no Vitamin B deficiency symptoms, and you also eat a lot of the foods containing Vitamin b, you might not need to supplement. However, many of us are under enough stress and also have eaten a lot of refined foods which have stripped B vitamins from your bodies, and so vitamin B supplementation can be beneficial. However, unless know there is a big Vitamin B1 deficiency and therefore are taking only B1 for any specific purpose and certain period of time under the care of any adverse health care practitioner, we don't recommend supplementing simply with Vitamin B1. Every one of the B vitamins work in addition to each other, and often supplementing with only 1 or 2 of them can cause other B Vitamin imbalances. We advise adding a whole food supplement containing the B Complex vitamins, including nutritional yeast and/or whole food based Vitamin b. These are very hard to find, but it's worth it to your body to utilize food-based vitamin B, in our opinion. It can take 6 months to 1 year to replenish your supply of B vitamins, so supplementing can certainly help you to catch up.
