Vitamin B1 Deficiency
Vitamins are essential for your bodys growth and
development, plus they also play a crucial role
in biological functions like metabolism,
immunity, digestion and so on. However, there

through diet alone. One of the most important
vitamins is Vitamin B1. Trust me, you dont want
Vitamin B1 deficiency to ruin your life. Vitamin
B1 deficiency can affect muscle contraction and

1. UNDERNOURISHMENT OR MALNUTRITION
Vitamin B1 is highly water soluble and it must
be constantly replenished through a wholesome
diet. An average human being has 30 mg of
vitamin B1 in

• CHEMICAL DETERIORATION
• The human body strives to maintain an ideal Ph
  balance (acid- base or acid-alkaline balance).
  When this balance is disrupted and/or body
  temperature is elevated, it leads to the
  breakdown of thiamine and ultimately results in
  vitamin B1 deficiency.
• CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL
• Consuming excessive amounts of alcohol places
  undue stress on your metabolism and causes
  nutrient deficiencies.
• Not just vitamin B1, alcohol affects the
  absorption of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B15 B12
  and folic acid.

4. PROLONGED DIARRHEA
Prolonged diarrhea impairs the bodys ability to
absorb vitamin B1. Severe liver disorders also
have the same effect on the bodys ability to
absorb thiamine.

• AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
• Vitamin B1 is absorbed deep inside the small
  intestine, but the process of digestion starts
  in the stomach itself. Autoimmune disorders
  destroy the unique cells that assist in the
  absorption of vitamin B1.
• SMALL INTESTINAL BACTERIAL GROWTH
• Small intestinal bacterial growth is a condition
  wherein excessive bacteria are present in the
  small intestine. These bacteria use vitamin B1,
  B12, etc. for their own purposes, which disturb
  your digestive system and hinders its ability to
  absorb vitamins.

7. INFLAMMATION
Inflammation in the far end of your intestine
can contribute to vitamin B1 deficiency. There
could be several reasons for it, like Crohns
disease, pain-relieving medications etc. Pain in
the lower abdomen and diarrhea are some signs of
inflammation. 8. TAPEWORMS AND COMPLICATED
SURGERIES Tapeworms and many complicated
surgeries can play havoc with your digestive
system leading to vitamin B deficiencies (of all
kinds). People who undergo weight loss surgeries
or have a part of their small intestine removed
are vulnerable to vitamin deficiency issues.

REASONS VITAMIN B1 IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE
Essential for a healthy metabolism - Our bodies
require vitamin B1 to produce Adenosine
Triphosphate (ATP) cells that absorb chemical
energy from the breakdown of food molecules and
supply it to the rest of the body. Thiamine or
vitamin B1 enables the conversion of
carbohydrates into glucose and also the
production of red blood cells. Doctors often
prescribe Vitamin B1 supplements to patients
suffering from genetic diseases to help them
deal with metabolic disorders.

USES AND DOSAGES FOR VITAMIN B1 SUPPLEMENTS
The recommended dosage for thiamine or vitamin B1
is 1.2 mg a day for men and 1.1 mg a day for
women. Experts recommend that we get our daily
dosage of vitamin B1 from a balanced diet. We
might have heard about the side effects of
overdosing on vitamins. However, with vitamin B1,
there is no such risk because it is water
soluble. Nevertheless, there are no benefits of
consuming vitamin B1 in excess quantities. It
wont be helpful to the body. Pregnant and
breastfeeding women should consult a doctor
before consuming any supplements.
