Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - The atmosphere Booster Vitamin

good morning supplement - Vitamin B1 is known as the "mood-booster" vitamin due to the dramatic effect on our central nervous system and our mood. Besides supporting the nerves, vitamin B1 supports carbohydrate metabolism, boosts our immune system, wards off mosquitoes, helps develop red blood cells, maintains muscle tissue, promotes growth in children helping control motion sickness. An artificial version of vitamin B1 is put into white flour in in order 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 available for the body, including the brain. So if you're not getting enough thiamine, may very well not be feeding your mind enough glucose for this to think well.

Extra Thiamine Requirements

morning and vitamins - If 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, a lot of sugar and junk food 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 the body, and if you are exposed to more toxins, you will require more of the B vitamins overall.

Deficiency Signs of Vitamin B1

Fatigue and insomnia, bad memory, poor thinking processes and muscle coordination, headaches, weakness and confusion are all 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 will often affect memory also. Beriberi is a disease that can get from a severe lack of B1, and is characterized by 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 Causes of Vitamin B1

Even if you get enough vitamin B1 to ward off beriberi, many of us do not get the optimum amount, especially as a result of all the stress we have been 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 the gut is healthy, and possesses a preponderance of fine 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 overcome 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 every one of the B vitamins your body needs.

Should You Supplement with Vitamin B1?

bad mood in the morning - If you have a healthy gut no Vitamin B deficiency symptoms, and also you eat a lot of the foods containing Vitamin b, you might not need to supplement. However, the majority of us are under enough stress and possess eaten a lot of refined foods who have stripped B vitamins from your bodies, and so b vitamin supplementation can be beneficial. However, unless know you have a big Vitamin B1 deficiency and so are taking only B1 to get a specific purpose and certain period of time under the care of a fitness care practitioner, we don't 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 advise adding a whole food supplement containing the B Complex vitamins, including 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. Normally it takes 6 months to 1 year to replenish your supply of B vitamins, so supplementing can help you to catch up.
