Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

I am glad you are conscious about your health. Well, here I am listing brief details of Thiamine and its uses. Beware, there will be clinical terms you can find meaning in a dictionary, or you can ask me if needed. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is needed for carbohydrate consumption of body and nerve function. It is available in many foods, including cereal grains, beans, nuts, yeast-containing products, and meat. Thiamine Deficiency is often seen in alcoholics and causes Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Vitamin B1 deficiency can also cause dysmenorrhoea. Oral supplements are taken only with a doctor’s supervision. You can consult your general practitioner for any assistance in taking Thiamine.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.
