Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is a water-soluble vitamin whose molecule contains pyrimidine and thiazole cycles. This vitamin can be produced by gut microflora, but only in insufficient amounts. It must therefore be received additionally through the diet.
Thiamine contributes to:
- Normal energy-yielding metabolism
- Normal nervous system function
- Normal psychological function
- Normal heart function
Thiamine is a natural component of the ingredients in ManaPowder and ManaDrink. We also add it in the form of thiamin hydrochloride. Precise information on the quantity of thiamine in ManaPowder Origin can be found here. Precise information on the quantity of thiamine in ManaDrink Origin can be found here.
