Nationalnutrition116 May, 2023Health

WHAT IS BENFOTIAMINE? Thiamine (B1) is a water-soluble vitamin found in a variety of foods including legumes, nuts, seeds, wheat germ, fortified grain products like bread, cereal, pasta, rice, and flour, as well as some meat and fish. While thiamine deficiency is rare in developed nations, certain conditions may predispose to it. Those that consume a highly refined diet, or who avoid whole-grains altogether, as well as chronic diarrhea, Crohn's disease, and those dealing with alcohol use disorder may all be thiamin deficient.
