Vitamin B1

dsm-firmenich ESSENTIAL PRODUCTS

B group vitamins act as coenzymes on different metabolic pathways and, in many biochemical reactions multiple B-group vitamins are involved at the same time. Their presence is fundamental for the normal functioning of the organism.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine): where the vitamin history started

Thiamine was the firts vitamin to be identified in 1912. Thiamine as coenzyme is involved in more than 20 enzymatic reactions and plays a critical role in the production of energy from food in the carbohydrate metabolism. It is  also a linking factor between carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Thiamine recommendations increase when the main energy source supplied by the feed is carbohydrate.
