Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - The atmosphere Booster Vitamin

best morning supplements - Vitamin B1 is known as the "mood-booster" vitamin due to the dramatic effect on our 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 mass, promotes growth in children helping control motion sickness. A man-made version of vitamin B1 is added to white flour in to be able 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, it also makes energy available for the body, including the brain. So if you are not getting enough thiamine, may very well not be feeding your brain enough glucose for it to think well.

Extra Thiamine Requirements

mood supplement for morning - If you're pregnant or nursing, use oral contraceptives, cigarettes or diuretics, you will require more vitamin B1. People that have diets high in refined foods, an excessive amount of sugar and fast foods and/or alcohol will also have higher requirements for thiamine. Last, however, not least, heavy metal pollutants like mercury and stress also employ up thiamine in the body and can increase your need for it. B vitamins are used in detoxifying our bodies, 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 typical symptoms of Vitamin B1 deficiency. Insufficient thiamine has also been linked to mood changes, disorderly thinking, fear and feelings of uneasiness -- all indications of mental depression that may often affect memory as well. Beriberi is a disease that can be cultivated 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

While you might get enough vitamin B1 to ward off beriberi, many of us do not get the optimum amount, especially because of 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 and seeds like sesame seeds may also be good sources of Vitamin B1.

Also, if your gut is healthy, and has 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 beat 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 of the B vitamins your body needs.

Should You Supplement with Vitamin B1?

good morning pill - When you have a healthy gut with no Vitamin B deficiency symptoms, and also you eat a lot of the foods containing Vitamin b, you might not need to supplement. However, many 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 vitamin b complex 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 period of time under the care of any adverse health 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 could cause other B Vitamin imbalances. We propose 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, however it is worth it to your body to use 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 really help you to catch up.
