Thiamine is important in maintaining overall good health. A deficiency of thiamine, or vitamin B1, may go undiagnosed and is associated with poor health outcomes, including death.
The body uses thiamine to get the energy to grow cells and support body functions.
Thiamine helps some of the enzymes in the body that are used in the metabolism of glucose. This makes thiamine levels important in diseases of the metabolic and gastrointestinal systems.
For that reason, a deficiency may lead to a lack of certain enzymes. A severe deficiency could lead to decreased production of some enzymes and go on to cause problems in brain function.
Supplement use should be individualized and vetted by a healthcare professional, such as a registered dietitian, pharmacist, or healthcare provider. No supplement is intended to treat, cure, or prevent disease.
