Thiamine HCl (Vitamin B1)

Product Details Thiamine HCl (vitamin B1) is a water-soluble essential nutrient that all bodily tissues need to function. Thiamine has the designation as vitamin B1 because it was the first B vitamin that scientists discovered. It is necessary to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. These molecules are responsible for transferring energy between cells. It is also a cofactor for several enzymes that help metabolize glucose, amino acids, and lipids. Potential Thiamine Benefits Vitamin B1 aids several metabolic functions in the body. It is a cofactor to pyruvate dehydrogenase and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, two enzymes that help generate ATP. ATP is the primary source of energy for cells, which the body can store or use as needed. Thiamine also helps convert carbohydrates into glucose, another significant source of energy for the body.
