Thiamine (Vitamin B1) Supplements

Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is one of eight B vitamins and contributes to normal energy release, the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function. It also contributes to normal heart function. Your body can’t make thiamine itself, so you need to get it through your diet. You’ll find vitamin B1 in foods including peas, nuts, wholegrain bread and some fortified breakfast cereals. Vitamin B1 supplements can also help you top up your intake. At Vitabiotics, you can choose from thiamine supplements in a range of formats, including thiamine tablets, multivitamins and B-complex formulas.
