THIAMINE
information from the
National Institutes of Health
Thiamine (also spelled thiamin) is a vitamin, also called vitamin B1. Vitamin B1
is found in many foods including yeast, cereal grains, beans, nuts, and meat. It
is often used in combination with other B vitamins, and found in many vitamin B
complex products. Vitamin B complexes generally include vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin
B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin/niacinamide), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid),
vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), and folic acid. However,
some products do not contain all of these ingredients and some may include others,
such as biotin, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), choline bitartrate, and inositol.
People take thiamine for conditions related to low levels of thiamine (thiamine
deficiency syndromes), including beriberi and inflammation of the nerves outside
the brain (peripheral neuritis) associated with pregnancy or with a vitamin-deficiency
disease called pellagra.
Thiamine is also used for digestive problems including poor appetite, ulcerative
colitis, and ongoing diarrhea.
Thiamine is also used for AIDS and boosting the immune system, diabetic pain, heart
disease, alcoholism, aging, a type of brain damage called cerebellar syndrome, canker
sores, vision problems such as cataracts and glaucoma, motion sickness, and improving
athletic performance. Other uses include preventing cervical cancer and progression
of kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Some people use thiamine for maintaining a positive mental attitude; enhancing learning
abilities; increasing energy; fighting stress; and preventing memory loss, including
Alzheimer's disease.
Healthcare providers give thiamine shots for a memory disorder called Wernicke's
encephalopathy syndrome, other thiamine deficiency syndromes in critically ill people,
alcohol withdrawal, and coma.
Thiamine Effectiveness
The effectiveness ratings for thiamin (vitamin B1) are as follows:
Effective for
•Treatment and prevention of thiamine deficiency, including a specific disorder
called Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) that is related to low levels of thiamine
(thiamine deficiency) and is often see in alcoholics. Between 30% and 80% of alcoholics
are believed to have thiamine deficiency. Giving thiamine shots seems to help decrease
the risk of developing WKS and decrease symptoms of WKS during alcohol withdrawal.
•Correcting problems in people with certain types of genetic diseases including
Leigh's disease, maple syrup urine disease, and others.
Possibly effective for
•Preventing kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. Developing research shows
that taking high-dose thiamine (100 mg three times daily) for three months significantly
decreases the amount of albumin in the urine in people with type 2 diabetes. Albumin
in the urine is an indication of kidney damage.
•Preventing cataracts.
Thiamine Deficiency
A lack or deficiency of thiamin can cause weakness, fatigue, psychosis, and nerve
damage.
Thiamine deficiency in the United States is most often seen in people who abuse alcohol
(alcoholism). A lot of alcohol makes it hard for the body to absorb thiamin from
foods. Unless those with alcoholism receive higher-than-normal amounts of thiamin
to make up for the difference, the body will not get enough of the substance. This
can lead to a disease called beriberi.
In severe thiamin deficiency, brain damage can occur. One type is called Korsakoff
syndrome. The other is Wernicke's disease. Either or both of these conditions can
occur in the same person.
