Why People Avoid Vitamin B1

People following a vegan diet may need to ensure that the source of Vitamin B1 is plant-based, as it can be derived from both animal and plant sources. If the source is not specified on product labels, contacting the manufacturer is advised to confirm its origin. Additionally, individuals with rare thiamine metabolism disorders may need to avoid thiamine-rich foods.
