Description
"Vitamin B1" is a supplement derived from thiamine, a water-soluble compound naturally occurring in whole grains, legumes, and nuts. It facilitates ATP synthesis, fueling cellular processes and maintaining stability. This vitamin plays a role in nerve signal transmission, influencing cognitive clarity and coordination. Thiamine also assists in hydrochloric acid production, supporting digestion and nutrient absorption. It is involved in red blood cell formation and cardiovascular efficiency. As an essential part of daily nutrition, Vitamin B1 supports metabolic function.

When To Take It
Vitamin B1 is typically best taken in the morning to maximize its role in energy production and metabolism throughout the day, but it can be consumed at any time.
Synergy and Antagonism
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) works synergistically with vitamins A, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, and E, as well as minerals like cobalt, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc, to support energy production and metabolic function. However, excessive vitamin B6, B12, copper, potassium, and zinc intake may disrupt its function. Alcohol consumption can significantly deplete vitamin B1 levels, creating an antagonistic interaction.
