This vitamin's major functions are increasing circulation, assisting in blood formation, carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of hydrochloric acid (which is important for proper digestion). Thiamine is also essential in optimizing cognitive activity and brain function. A deficiency in vitamin B1 can lead to constipation, enlarged liver, fatigue, forgetfulness, weak/sore muscles, tingling sensations, gastrointestinal disturbances, etc. The best sources of vitamin B1 are fortified cereals and oatmeal, meats, rice, pasta, whole grains, egg yolks, fish and liver.
