Dietary supplement Labs212 B1, is a product that combines two forms of vitamin B1: thiamine and thiamine pyrophosphate. One capsule contains 50 mg of vitamin B1.
Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is a water-soluble vitamin composed of a thiazole ring and a pyrimidine ring. It plays an important role in many of the body's basic physiological processes. It is not stored in the body, and daily intake is necessary to maintain adequate levels. Thiamine contributes to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism. It is essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, which are the body's primary source of energy. It is also involved in the metabolism of amino acids and the production of neurotransmitters, so it helps in the proper functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B1 helps in the proper functioning of the heart. With thiamine deficiency, there is an accumulation of pyruvate and lactate in body fluids and tissues, resulting in metabolic acidosis, vasodilation of blood vessels and water and sodium retention in the body. All of these lead to heart muscle failure. Thiamine is also important in maintaining normal psychological functions.
Thiamine pyrophosphate is the biochemically active form of thiamine. Thiamine is absorbed in the small intestine and then transported to the liver and other tissues, where it is converted to thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP or cocarboxylase), which is a coenzyme involved in a number of key metabolic processes. TPP acts, as a cofactor for several enzymes involved in carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, as well as in the production of ATP (the main source of energy).
In summary, Labs212 B1 is a formula that allows you to safely supplement vitamin B1 deficiencies. Thanks to the formula containing two forms of the vitamin, even better absorption and utilization by the body is possible.
