Description
Vitamin-B-1 (thiamin) — If you are dieting or eat irregularly, you should be supplementing with this vitamin.
Vitamin B-1 (thiamin) is essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates,
some amino acids and alcohol. It is also necessary for the production of
the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and for the detoxification of both
alcohol and lactic acid (a by-product of strenuous exercise). Thiamin
has important roles in the production of energy and ATP derived from
reactions in the Krebs cycle. A high carbohydrate diet, strenuous
physical exercise, or chronic alcohol consumption may increase the
physiological need for vitamin B-1.
