Health Benefits of Thiamine

Thiamine (vitamin B1) contributes to several key physiological functions as recognized by the European Food Safety Authority:

• Normal energy‑yielding metabolism: Thiamine helps convert carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s main energy source.
• Normal functioning of the nervous system: It supports nerve impulse transmission and the maintenance of myelin sheaths.
• Normal psychological function: Adequate thiamine intake is linked to healthy cognitive and mood processes.

These benefits are authorised health claims under EU regulation.

What Is Thiamine?

Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is a water‑soluble vitamin that your body needs every day. It acts as a coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism and is vital for nerve function. Since stores are limited, a consistent supply—either from food or supplements—is essential.

Who Might Benefit from a Thiamine Supplement?

While thiamine is present in foods such as whole grains, legumes, and pork, certain groups may have higher requirements:

• Those with restrictive diets: Vegans and vegetarians, or individuals consuming a diet high in refined carbohydrates, may have lower thiamine intake.
• Older adults: Ageing can reduce thiamine absorption and utilisation.
• Alcohol users: Alcohol interferes with thiamine absorption and increases excretion, making supplementation particularly important for those who consume alcohol regularly.
• Digestive conditions: Conditions such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or gastric bypass surgery can impair thiamine absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take thiamine on an empty stomach?
