Thiamine

Thiamine also called vitamin B1. It is often used

in combination with other B vitamins, and found
in many vitamin B complex products. Vitamin B
complexes generally include vitamin B1
(thiamine),  vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin
B12 (cyanocobalamin), and folic acid.

USES
It plays an important role in maintaining a healthy nervous

system and improving the cardiovascular functioning of the
body.
Vitamin B1 is one of the eight water-soluble vitamins in the B
complex family. It helps in the conversion of carbohydrates
into glucose, which in turn is used to produce energy for
carrying out various bodily functions. Vitamin B1 is also
required for the breakdown of fats and protein.
It maintain the muscle tone along the walls of the digestive
tract and promotes the health of the nervous system, skin,
hair, eyes, mouth, and liver. It also improves the body’s
ability to withstand stress and is often called the “anti-stress”
vitamin.

SIDE EFFECTS
Thiamine is LIKELY SAFE when taken by mouth in appropriate

amounts, although rare allergic reactions and skin irritation have
occurred. It is also LIKELY SAFE when given appropriately
intravenously (by IV) by a healthcare provider. Thiamine shots are
an FDA-approved prescription product.
Thiamine might not properly enter the body in some people who

conditions.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
