Vitamin

Vitamin b1

Vitamin B1, or thiamine, is converted into thiamine pyrophosphate, a coenzyme used in carbohydrate metabolism. It helps key enzymes process nutrients within cellular energy pathways.

It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, nervous-system function and heart function.

In everyday life, Vitamin B1 helps turn carbohydrates into usable energy while supporting the nerves and heart functions that keep daily life moving.

Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.

Ingredient overview

What it is

Vitamin B1, or thiamine, is converted into thiamine pyrophosphate, a coenzyme used in carbohydrate metabolism. It helps key enzymes process nutrients within cellular energy pathways.

  • Scientific identity: Vitamin B1; active coenzyme: Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP).
  • How it works: Absorbed and phosphorylated: Taken up in the small intestine, it is converted to thiamine pyrophosphate, its active coenzyme form. Joins the gateway enzymes: It is required by pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, the enzymes feeding fuel into the citric acid cycle.
  • Primary function: It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, nervous-system function and heart function.
  • What it supports: Vitamin B1 helps turn carbohydrates into usable energy while supporting the nerves and heart functions that keep daily life moving.
  • Important consideration: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.

Formulation rationale

Why we use it

CARPEDIEM selected Vitamin B1 for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

  • Formulation purpose: It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, nervous-system function and heart function.
  • Used in: CARPEDIEM MultiTeen, CARPEDIEM MultiWomen and CARPEDIEM MultiMen.
  • Works alongside: Vitamin B1 complements Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3 / Niacin and Vitamin B5 to support comprehensive daily nutritional support.
  • Meaningful contribution: Vitamin B1 helps turn carbohydrates into usable energy while supporting the nerves and heart functions that keep daily life moving. Supports the enzyme pathways that process nutrients within energy metabolism.
  • Quality and scientific context: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
