TPP is also necessary for our brain's ability to transmit nerve impulses. In fact acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter needed for proper nervous system functioning, is dependant upon thiamine pyrophosphate for its development. [4] Clinical application with the supplementary thiamine has been promising. Thiamine supplementation has proved beneficial in those suffering from an array of neurological and psychiatric conditions. [5] These conditions include and are not limited to; sciatica, Bell's Palsy, and also insomnia. As well, the overall health of those who suffer Alzheimer's disease may also be positively influenced by this nutrient. [6] Vitamin B1 Dosages The RDA was revised in 1998 for the supplementation of Thiamine and is directly related to energy intake. RDA and DRI defined for Thiamine: Life-Stage Men Women Ages 19-30 1.2mg/day 1.1mg/ day Although not defined, increases in thiamine are needed in times of pregnancy, lactation, hyperthyroidism, sever body burns, cardiac arrest, and fever/flu. Vitamin B1 Toxicities and Deficiencies Vitamin B1 Toxicities Thiamine is not known to be toxic, since the majority of excesses of this vitamin are excreted in the urine. Thiamine is associated with a certain " medicinal smell " which protrudes from persons ingesting excessive amounts. Vitamin B1 Deficiencies Vitamin B1 deficiencies are characterized by anemia, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, mental confusion, difficulties in breathing, and constipation. [7] Symptoms may also include; muscular atrophy, paralysis, and muscle spasms of the lower extremities. [1] The abovementioned disease of beriberi is also associated with thiamine deficiency.
