What is Vitamin B1 (thiamine)?
Vitamin B1, also called thiamin, is one of the 8 B vitamins. Thiamine is located in plants and animals and plays a crucial role in certain metabolic reactions. Most foods contain small amounts of thiamine. Large amounts can be found in pork. Other good food sources of thiamin are whole grain or enriched cereals, rice, legumes, wheat germ, bran, brewer's yeast and molasses. A diet rich in carbohydrates will increase the need for vitamin B1, and the use of antibiotics, sulfonamides and oral contraceptives.

A deficiency of thiamine is rare, but can occur in people consuming alcohol in large quantities. People who have thiamine deficiency may experience fatigue, irritability, depression and abdominal discomfort, loss of mental alertness, difficulty breathing, and heart damage (a disease known as beriberi).
