Thiamine
WHY IS THIAMINE (VIT B1) SO SPECIAL?
Thiamine (vitamin B1) is one of the eight essential B vitamins. Though rare in places with food and supplements, vitamin B1 deficiency can occur with some medical conditions.
Thiamine is a vitamin your body needs for growth, development, and cellular function, as well as converting food into energy.
Like the other B vitamins, thiamine is water-soluble. That means that it dissolves in water and isn’t stored in your body, so you need to consume it on a regular basis. In fact, your body can only store around 20 days’ worth of thiamine at any given time.
Not getting enough thiamine can lead to thiamine deficiency, which can happen in as little as 3 weeks and affect your heart, nervous system, and immune system.
Symptoms of possible Thiamine (B1) deficiency:
- Loss of appetite
- Chronic Fatigue
- Irritability
- Nerve damage
- tingling limbs
- loss of sensitivity in feet and fingers
- muscle weakness
- rapid heartbeat
- difficulty waking up
- mental confusion
- coordination problems
- lower body paralysis (inability to move the legs)
5. Tingling arms and legs
6. Blurry vision
7. Nausea and vomiting
8. Delirium
Symptoms of thiamine deficiency can be vague and hard to diagnose. They may include loss of appetite, fatigue (tiredness), irritability, nerve damage, tingling in your arms and legs, blurry vision, nausea and vomiting, and delirium.
