The properties of Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 (thiamine, aneurine C12H17N4OS). All eight B vitamins, including Vitamin B5 mentioned above, help your body convert food, especially carbohydrates, into glucose that it can use as energy. Vitamin B1 is no different – it also helps your body metabolize fats and protein, ensuring you get all the nutrients you need from your food.

Recommended Daily Allowance

Vitamin B1 – Recommended Daily Allowance: 1.2/1.1 mg.

Symptoms of Deficiency

Mild deficiency: general fatigue/weakness gastro-intestinal symptoms.
Deficiency: “Beri-beri”— Peripheral nerve damage and cardiovascular dysfunction leading to: pain, impaired sensory perception; swelling, weakness and pain in the limbs; shortness of breath, irregular heart rate, heart failure.

Specific Risk Factors for Deficiency

Alcohol abuse, obesity.

Dietary Sources

Good Dietary Sources of Vitamin B1:

  • cereals (esp. whole grain),
  • brown rice,
  • green vegetables,
  • potatoes,
  • pasta,
  • liver,
  • pork,
  • eggs.

Vitamin B1 and the Brain

Thiamine is a coenzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, which is a necessary step in the synthesis of fatty acids, steroids, nucleic acids and the aromatic amino acid precursors to a range of neurotransmitters and other bioactive compounds essential for brain function. Thiamine plays a neuro-modulatory role in the acetylcholine neurotransmitter system, distinct from its actions as a cofactor during metabolic processes and contributes to the structure and function of cellular membranes, including neurons and neuroglia(1262).

Brain Specific Symptoms of Deficiency

Mild deficiency: irritability, emotional disturbances, confusion, disturbed sleep, memory loss. Deficiency: Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (neurodegeneration, within the medial thalamus and cerebellum). Ataxia, abnormal motor function and eye movement, amnesia, apathy, confabulation.

Thiamine Nitrate

Thiamine nitrate is the thiamine salt formed from one mole of thiamine base and one mole of nitric acid. It occurs as an anhydrous crystalline solid of low hygroscopicity. Thiamin (vitamin B1) is a member of the vitamin B complex. Attributing to low hydroscopicity, thiamine nitrate works as a more stable form of thiamine in pharmaceutical preparations. Thiamine nitrate is preferred to be used for the preparation of multivitamins and as a food fortification in dry blends and dry products such as in wheat flour.

Thiamine Hydrochloride

Thiamine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of thiamine, a vitamin essential for aerobic metabolism, cell growth, transmission of nerve impulses and acetylcholine synthesis. Upon hydrolysis, thiamine hydrochloride is phosphorylated by thiamine diphosphokinase to form active thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), also known as cocarboxylase. TPP is a coenzyme for many enzymatic activities involving fatty acid, amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism.
