About this supplement
Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine diphosphate, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism and is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. It acts as a coenzyme in the decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids, which is vital for energy production. Thiamine diphosphate is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and supports cognitive function.
