Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, belongs to the group of water-soluble vitamins – and is a real power element for your body. It plays a key role in converting nutrients, especially carbohydrates, into energy. No vitamin B1? No optimal energy metabolism! It also supports important nerve functions and keeps you mentally fit.
According to the Health Claims Regulation, vitamin B1 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal psychological function and to the normal function of the heart. A real all-rounder!
Where can vitamin B1 be found? You will find a particularly rich source in wholegrain products, legumes, meat, fish as well as certain vegetables and walnuts. Oats are also a top source: with 0.42 mg of vitamin B1 per 100 g, they cover a whopping 38 % of the recommended daily intake for adults. Pretty impressive, right?
