Thiamin
Thiamin (vitamin B1) helps the body's cells change carbohydrates into energy. The main role of carbohydrates is to provide energy for the body, especially the brain and nervous system. Thiamin also plays a role in muscle contraction and conduction of nerve signals.
Diet Lacking
Early symptoms of thiamin deficiency include fatigue, weak muscles, anorexia, weight loss and mental changes, such as confusion or irritability. As deficiency becomes more severe, it can result in a disease called beriberi, which is characterized by severe cardiovasular and nervous-system complications including cardiac failure in infants.
