Thiamin Tablet is composed of Benfotiamine, a derivative of thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, which is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in energy metabolism, nerve function, and carbohydrate metabolism. Benfotiamine deficiency can lead to beriberi, Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome, Malnutrition and cognitive impairment.
Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency occurs if the recommended daily intake is not maintained. Other factors such as older age, diabetes, post-bariatric surgery, gastrointestinal disease, pregnancy, lactation, fasting, starvation, imbalanced diets, hyperthyroidism, kidney failure, and blood infections can also lead to low levels of thiamine in blood. The deficiency of thiamine may also occur due to impaired intestinal absorption, particularly in those who excessively consume alcohol, have AIDS, and are suffering from malnutrition.
The early symptoms of thiamine deficiency include weight loss, anorexia (eating disorder), confusion, short-term memory loss, discomfort, muscle weakness, and cardiac symptoms.
Thiamin tablets are over-the-counter supplements commonly used to treat or prevent thiamine deficiency. The active ingredient in Thiamin tablets is thiamine hydrochloride. Thiamin 100mg tablets prevent thiamine deficiency. In addition, Thiamin 100mg tablets also improve energy levels, support nerve function, and enhance cognitive function.
Thiamine can only be stored in the body briefly before it is excreted. Therefore a regular dietary intake of thiamin supplements is necessary to maintain the proper level of thiamine in the blood.
The dose and frequency of thiamine supplementation depend on the individual's needs and health status. You should always consult a healthcare professional before starting Thiamin 100mg tablet.
