Solgar Vitamin B1 (thiamine HCI) 100mg. Known as the "morale vitamin" because of its relation to a healthy nervous system and its beneficial effect on mental attitude, thiamine is also linked with improving individual learning capacity. Also necessary for consistent growth in children.
Thiamin, or vitamin B1 found in both plant and animal sources, is a water soluble vitamin that acts as a coenzyme particularly in the complex process of glucose (blood sugar) conversion into energy and is vital in certain metabolic reactions. For this reason, thiamine is needed when energy expenditure is high, as when exercising. Thiamin will adjust to the body's needs as long as enough thiamine containing energy foods are taken. Maintenance of the heart and nervous system and formation of red blood cells are all jobs of thiamine. Thiamin occurs in limited quantities in almost all foods and is found in large amounts in only a few, such as pork and organ meats.
