🌱 What it is
Thiamine (vitamin B1) is an essential nutrient the body needs for nerve function and energy metabolism.
✨ Why it's good for you
- Essential nutrient with a well-established role in nerve health
- Inexpensive and widely available
- Deficiency is reversible with prompt treatment
🥄 How to use it
For general nerve support, 100 mg twice a day is a common approach. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome and severe deficiency require IV thiamine under medical supervision, not home dosing — seek prompt medical care for those conditions. For neuritis or neuropathy, work with a healthcare provider on the right dose for you.
How much: 100 mg twice daily for general nerve support; higher doses only under medical supervision.
Why it works: Thiamine deficiency can damage the brain and peripheral nerves; replacing it addresses the underlying deficiency and supports nerve repair.
⚠️ Cautions
- Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a medical emergency requiring immediate professional evaluation and IV treatment — do not attempt to self-treat at home.
- High doses for neuropathy should be guided by a healthcare provider.
- Rule out underlying alcohol use disorder or malabsorption with a clinician, since these are common causes of deficiency.
