What is vitamin B1?

Vitamin B1, or thiamine, is an organic compound belonging to the amine group, isolated for the first time in 1911 by Kazimierz Funk - a Polish biochemist and founder of vitamin science.

Thiamine, as a vitamin, is a necessary ingredient for the proper functioning of the body and the maintenance of life processes. It is a cofactor (coenzyme) of many enzymes, such as transketolase, pyruvate dehydrogenase or α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, thus participating in important metabolic pathways and processes occurring in the body, mainly related to energy production and metabolism (Krebs cycle), synthesis of nucleic acids (synthesis of ribose) and with good functioning of the nervous system.

What are the chemical forms of vitamin B1?

In dietary supplements, thiamine can be present in several chemical forms - as different salts, such as hydrochloride, mononitrate, monophosphate or thiamine pyrophosphate - which can be absorbable and active to varying degrees. Ultimately, however, after entering the body, all thiamine compounds must be converted to free thiamine or thiamine pyrophosphate, which is the main form of vitamin B1 and constitutes about 80% of its total resources in the body.

What is thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)?

Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP, cocarboxylase) is the only metabolically active form of vitamin B1 that exhibits biological activity immediately after administration, without the need to convert it into other chemical forms. Apart from the basic functions of vitamin B1, cocarboxylase also serves as a coenzyme in the enzymatic reactions of important metabolic pathways such as the Krebs cycle (eg decarboxylation of pyruvic acid, α-ketoglutaric acid or α-keto acids). For this reason, it is also called a coenzyme vitamin.

The power of two forms and optimal absorption!

Aliness Vitamin B1 DUO is a food supplement that contains two forms of thiamine - active and bioavailable pyrophosphate and inactive hydrochloride. This solution offers an advantage over other products based only on the inactive form, because the thiamine pyrophosphate present in the product is immediately ready for action, while the conventional thiamine hydrochloride is released and converted to the active form slowly. Due to the use of two forms, the vitamin B1 contained in the product is characterized by better bioavailability, and its release and absorption rate is optimal.

Aliness Vitamin B1 DUO does not contain ingredients of animal origin, which makes it a suitable product for vegans.
