Thiamin (thiamine), or vitamin B1, is a water-soluble vitamin found naturally in some foods, added to foods, and sold as a supplement.
Thiamin plays a vital role in the growth and function of various cells. Only small amounts are stored in the liver, so a daily intake of thiamin-rich foods is needed.
Thiamine is extremely important in the prevention of complications of diabetes. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble version of thiamine.
Previous research has shown that thiamine use can prevent the formation of harmful by-products of glucose metabolism, reduce oxidative stress and improve blood vessel function.
