Liquid Vitamin B1 Thiamine

J. Clark Liquid Vitamin B1 (Thiamine):
Thiamine, or vitamin B1, a colorless, crystalline
substance, acts as a catalyst in carbohydrate metabolism, enabling pyruvic acid
to be absorbed and carbohydrates to release their energy, and is needed for
normal muscle tone of vital internal organs. Thiamin increases circulation and
assist in the production of hydrochloric acid, blood formation and carbohydrate
metabolism. Thiamine also plays a role in the synthesis of nerve-regulating
substances.
The first recognized vitamin deficiency disease
was beriberi, a condition that is manifested by numerous neurological and
metabolic disorders. Sufficient thiamine in the diet is a sure cure for
beriberi, a fact that was established over a long period of time through crude
dietary experiments by the Chinese, Japanese, and Dutch. Biochemically, thiamine
forms a coenzyme after phosphorylation by an ATP-dependent pyrophosphorylase.
Thiamine pyrophosphate contains a substituted pyrimidine nitrogen heterocyclic
ring and a thiazole nitrogen-sulfur heterocycle. The thiazole moiety is
responsible for the coenzyme's activity in pyruvate metabolism where it acts to
perform a nonoxidative decarboxylation. Clinically, thiamine helps to maintain
normal function of the nervous system, muscles, and heart, and is necessary for
normal growth and development.
Common sources of thiamine are kidney, liver,
brewer's yeast, flour, beans, pork, salmon, soybeans, and wheat germ.
Symptoms of thiamine deficiency are:
- loss of appetite
- fatigue
- nausea
- vomiting
- mental problems
Severe deficiency leads to beriberi, pain in the
arms and legs, heart enlargement and fluid accumulation.
