Vitamin B1 and the Vegetarian Diet

Vitamin B1, commonly referred to as thiamine, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism by helping the body convert carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for nerve, muscle, and heart function. Thiamine is found naturally in foods such as whole grains, legumes, and some meats and fish. It is often added to fortified foods and supplements.
