How do we keep the BodyBreak multivitamins so small?
Thiamin
Common Name:
Vitamin B1 Recommended Daily Intake:
.07-100mg/day Thiamine (also spelled "thiamin") is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin, previously known as vitamin B1 or aneurine. Thiamine was isolated and characterized in the 1920s, and thus was one of the first organic compounds to be recognized as a vitamin. Thiamine is involved in numerous body functions including the nervous system and muscle functioning.
Food Sources:
Whole Grains
Enriched cereals and breads
Meats
Beans
Nuts
Benefits of Adequate Intake:

Essential for normal growth and development
Necessary for proper functioning of the nervous system and muscles, including the heart muscles
May help with metabolic disorders of thiamine metabolism

Did You know?
Non-medicinal ingredients are ingredients that are added to hold the tablet together and to keep the formula from clumping while mixing. All tablets require 3 non-medicinal ingredients, yet some multivitamins have over 30 that include artificial colors, artificial flavors, sugars, oils, and chemical preservatives.
