Vitamin B₁ can be taken before or after meals, while taking the medication should try to avoid simultaneous intake with stimulating foods.
Vitamin B₁, also known as thiamine and anti-neuroinflammatory, is the main component of decarboxylated coenzymes, which can inhibit the activity of cholinesterase and maintain normal peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and secretion of the digestive glands.
Vitamin B₁ is a water-soluble vitamin. Excess vitamin B₁ will not be stored in the body, but will be completely excreted, so healthy people must be supplemented daily through the diet. Normal people can supplement vitamin B₁ on a daily basis by consuming moderate amounts of foods such as animal offal, whole grains, and lean meats.
When vitamin B₁ is deficient, it affects energy production and has a direct impact on the functioning of the nervous system, heart, gastrointestinal tract, and muscle tissues, resulting in symptoms such as irritability and forgetfulness. For more severe cases of vitamin B₁ deficiency, preparations should be taken under medical supervision.
Usually, vitamin B₁ supplementation is beneficial in prescribed doses, but oversupplementation may cause dizziness, fatigue, irritability, diarrhea, and other discomforts.
