Thiamine #1: The B Vitamin You’ve Barely Heard Of.
When I started sharing a few years ago about my experience moving away from the vegan diet, I shared how important thiamine has been for me. I discovered it strictly through muscle testing and my body always, on top of a B Complex, wanting/needing more thiamine.
It’s been over the past few years that I’ve learned about how a single deficiency (which impacts other nutrients so much) can have such a systemic effect on the body- most going under the radar until something BIG happens, like extreme stress or illness that really taxes the body and pushes the body into further thiamine deficiency.
I also wrote Thiamine Part 2: Supplementation, but if you’ve been around for a while now you know I highly encourage a B Complex and minerals to be on board BEFORE additional thiamine supplementation. My favorite B Complex has benfotiamine and is typically well tolerated by most. LifeBlud (code: holisticmother)
Also if you’re sensitive, especially with MCAS, Thiamine can cause reactivity so it’s important to go slow.
