Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - The atmosphere Booster Vitamin

best morning supplements - Vitamin B1 is known as the "mood-booster" vitamin due to its dramatic effect on our nerves and our mood. Besides supporting the nerves, vitamin B1 helps with carbohydrate metabolism, boosts our immune system, wards off mosquitoes, helps develop red blood cells, maintains muscle tissue, promotes growth in children so helping control motion sickness. A synthetic version of vitamin B1 is added to white flour in in order to ward off beriberi, but it is better to consume the natural form, present in abundance in whole grains. Because thiamine aids in carbohydrate metabolism, in addition, it makes energy available for the body, including the brain. So if you're not getting enough thiamine, may very well not be feeding your brain enough glucose for it to think well.

Extra Thiamine Requirements

mood in the morning - If you are pregnant or nursing, use birth control pills, cigarettes or diuretics, you'll need more vitamin B1. People that have diets high in refined foods, an excessive amount of sugar and junk foods 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 will increase your need for it. B vitamins are used in detoxifying the body, and if you are exposed to more toxins, you will 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 indications of mental depression that will often affect memory as well. Beriberi is a disease that can develop 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 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 are under, both physically and emotionally. 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, nuts like sesame seeds are also good sources of Vitamin B1.

Also, if your gut is healthy, and 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 until you have taken steps to overcome that, like with considerable amounts of probiotics, either in supplement form or with cultured vegetables or lacto-fermented beverages, you almost certainly aren't making every one of the B vitamins your body needs.

Should You Supplement with Vitamin B1?

morning supplements - If 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, most of us are under enough stress and also have eaten a lot of refined foods that have stripped B vitamins from our 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 length of time under the care of any adverse health care practitioner, and we don't recommend supplementing just 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, such as nutritional yeast and/or whole food based B vitamins. 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 own body's supply of B vitamins, so supplementing can help you to catch up.
