Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - The atmosphere Booster Vitamin

morning supplement - Vitamin B1 is recognized as the "mood-booster" vitamin due to the dramatic effect on our central nervous system and our mood. Besides supporting the central nervous system, vitamin B1 aids in carbohydrate metabolism, boosts our disease fighting capability, wards off mosquitoes, helps develop red blood cells, maintains muscle tissues, promotes growth in children so helping control motion sickness. A man-made version of vitamin B1 is put into white flour in to be able to ward off beriberi, but it is safer to consume the natural form, seen in abundance in whole grains. Because thiamine helps with carbohydrate metabolism, it also makes energy readily available for the body, including the brain. So if you feel not getting enough thiamine, you might not be feeding the human brain enough glucose for this to think well.

Extra Thiamine Requirements

morning and mood - In case you are pregnant or nursing, use oral contraceptives, cigarettes or diuretics, you will require more vitamin B1. People that have diets high in refined foods, too much 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 also use up thiamine in the body and will increase your need for it. B vitamins are used in detoxifying our bodies, and if you are exposed to more toxins, you will require more of the B vitamins overall.

Deficiency Symptoms of Vitamin B1

Fatigue and insomnia, bad memory, poor thinking processes 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 signs of mental depression that can often affect memory also. Beriberi is a disease that can get from a severe lack of B1, and is seen as an 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

Although you may get enough vitamin B1 to reduce the chances of 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 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 are also 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 have got antibiotics over the years which have lowered the amount of good bacteria, so unless you have taken steps to beat that, like with considerable amounts of probiotics, either in supplement form or with cultured vegetables or lacto-fermented beverages, you most likely aren't making every one of the B vitamins your body needs.

Should You Supplement with Vitamin B1?

good morning supplement - If you have a healthy gut no Vitamin B deficiency symptoms, and also 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 which 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 to get a specific purpose and certain period of time under the care of a fitness care practitioner, we do not recommend supplementing simply with Vitamin B1. All of the B vitamins work in addition to each other, and often supplementing with just 1 or 2 of them may cause other B Vitamin imbalances. We propose 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 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.
