Vitamin B1
Energy & Nerves
What it does
Thiamine is one of the small set of B vitamins that turn the carbs you eat into usable fuel. Without it, that conversion stalls and energy dips. It also keeps nerve and muscle signaling running smoothly. Because it's water-soluble and isn't stored well, people who drink heavily, eat heavily processed diets, or take certain medications can run low.
The science
A crucial coenzyme that dictates how the body converts carbohydrates and branched-chain amino acids into usable ATP energy for neurological and cardiovascular function.
Most relevant for
Heavy-carb or processed diets, regular drinkers, and older adults.
