Urine Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 is also known as thiamine. Adults have about 25-30 mg of thiamine, which is higher in heart, liver, kidney and brain, but 50% of the total is in muscle. The role of thiamine in the body is to participate in carbohydrate metabolism as a coenzyme of the carboxylase and transglycolase systems, which is a key material basis in material metabolism and energy metabolism. Vitamin B1 is also involved in oxidative decarboxylation in the body and is necessary for branched-chain amino acid metabolism. In addition, vitamin B1 also plays an important role in promoting appetite, normal peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, and secretion of digestive juices.
