Search Results for "Vitamin B1"

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is a spark plug for cellular energy—your cells use it to turn food into ATP. In deficiency, systems with high energy demand (heart, nerves, brain) falter; restoring thiamine can help those tissues work better. Researchers have also tested high-dose thiamine or its fat‑soluble prodrug benfotiamine in diabetes and heart failure to counter metabolic stress.

• Support heart function in people with heart failure or diuretic use
• Protect kidney health in diabetes (microalbuminuria)
• Support cognitive function in early Alzheimer’s or cognitive decline
• Support arterial/endothelial function under metabolic or oxidative stress

Vitamin B12 is your body’s “wiring and blood” vitamin: it helps build healthy red blood cells and keeps nerves working by powering one‑carbon (methylation) chemistry. When B12 is low, anemia, numbness, and brain fog can follow; restoring levels reliably fixes the underlying biochemical bottlenecks. Think of it as the co‑pilot that keeps homocysteine in check and cells making DNA properly.

• Correct B12‑deficiency anemia and support healthy blood formation
• Lower homocysteine and support methylation
• Support nerve health and neuropathy symptoms
• Help maintain cognitive function in people with high homocysteine or B12 deficiency

Evidence

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a co‑factor that helps enzymes make neurotransmitters, break down amino acids, and recycle homocysteine. Think of it as a small wrench that keeps many metabolic bolts from loosening. People reach for B6 to smooth monthly symptoms, support pregnancy nausea regimens, fine‑tune homocysteine, or help with certain kidney stone risks.

• Reduce premenstrual symptoms
• Support prenatal nausea regimens
• Support healthy homocysteine levels
• Help manage urinary oxalate in some stone formers
• Reduce feelings of anxiety (emerging)
