thiamine
Carbohydrate metabolism cofactor
Thiamine is vitamin B1, an essential nutrient the body needs to convert food into energy and maintain proper nerve function.
Deficiency causes beriberi, a disease historically common among populations dependent on polished white rice.
Thiamine occurs naturally in whole grains, meat, and legumes, and is often added to enriched flour and cereals.
