Thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1, maintains normal function of nervous system, muscles, heart, and promotes normal growth and development. It is also involved in converting amino acids, carbohydrates and fats to energy
It is essential for the heart, muscles, and nervous system. Deficiency can cause weakness, fatigue, and nerve damage. Because there is little thiamine stored in the body, depletion can occur in as little as 14 days.
